PART I SECTION 1- INTRODUCTION A. SITUATION The County of Rockland could be faced with anyone or a combination of a number of emergency situations that would pose a threat to the lives, health or safety of the County's residents. Among. those potential hazards are,the nuclear power generating facilities located at Indian Point in Westchester County, 0.8 miles across the Hudson River from Tompkins Cove in. the Town of Stony Point. These facilities have in, effect | |||
, many rigidly enforced safety features and programs associated with the handling of | |||
. radioactive materials. It is nevertheless possible that a radioactive release incident, seriously affecting public health and safety in Rockland County, could occur. | |||
Therefore, it is both prudent and appropriate to plan' for such a contingency through the effective use of the resources of the County and itS political jurisdictions in order to ensure the health and safety of the public and is in accordance with Federal Govemment Regalations. Title 10, Part 50. and Title 44, Part 350. These 'resources can be supplemented as necessary by assisumce from the State and Federal govemments~ | |||
: 1. Rockland County Description | |||
: a. Rockland County Locale The Indian Point Energy Center generating facilities are located 'on the east bank ofthe Hudson River in the Village of Buchanan, Westchester County.. The Indian Point Energy Center is 0.8 miles across the Hudson River from Tompkins Cove in the Town of Stony Point. | |||
Rockland County. ' | |||
The area within 10 miles of the Indian Point Energy Center is located Within fourcounties:.37 percent in Westchester, 27 percent in Rockland, 21 percent in Orange. and 15 percent in Putnam County. | |||
The Hudson River divides the four counties, with Orange and Rockland Counties and Putnam and Westchester Counties bordering the westem and eastern banks respectively. . | |||
, Rockland County is situated on the west bank of the Hudson River. Its geographical center is 33 miles north of the Manhattan business district in New York City. The Hudson River Valley lies to the north of Rockland. with Westchester County across the Hudson to the east, northern New Jersey to the soUth, and Orange County to the west. | |||
Rockland County is part of a 22-County region, which forms the New York Metropolitan Area. Rockland's 176 square mile land area consists mostly of public parks, residential, recreation and undeveloped areas. | |||
1-1 Rev. 07108 | |||
The major industrial and commercial areas are situated along Route 9W in the Town of Haverstraw and along the Route 59 and Route 303 corridors south of the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ). | |||
A map showing that area of Rockland County 'within ten (10) miles of Indian Point is presented in Appendix A. | |||
: b. .Rockland County Population The northern half of Rockland County is situated within the EPZ of Indian Point with a population of approximately 118,197 (refer to Appendix B). The entire towns of Stony Point, Haverstraw, and large Portions of the towns of Ramapo and Clarkstown are .within this planning zone. The total Rockland County population is distributed among five towns. | |||
The population data indicates that the county area within 5 miles of Indian Point is a low population density area with the exception of the southern sector villages of Havel"$traw and West Haverstraw. | |||
ApproXimately eighty percent of the total county population within the ten mile emergency planning zone is five to ten miles from Indian Point in the southern sector of the county. . | |||
: c. Special Facilities and Institutions Rockland County special facilities, aside from schools, camps, and | |||
.nursing homes within the Indian Point Energy Center 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone, include a hospital, a health center, a park system and the county jail. | |||
A listing of all the county ~pecial facilities within ten (10) miles of the Indian Point Energy Center is presented in Procedure SFC-1. Special Facilities CooroinatorEmergency Response Actions*and Procedure SCH-1, Schools Emergency Response Actions. | |||
: 2. . Indian Point Energy Center Description | |||
: a. Site Location The Indian Point Energy Center (IPEG) is located on the east bank of the Hudson River about 24. miles north of New York City, at Indian Point, Village of Buchanan in upper Westchester County, New York State. The station is about 0.8 miles southwest of the City of Peekskill; of 8.3 miles south West Point; and 2.3 miles north of Montrose point. | |||
Figures 1-1 and 1-2 show the location of Indian Point and its environs within ten and fifty miles respectively. Figure 1-3 indicates major features near the* site. | |||
The Indian Point Site is accessible by several roads in the Village of Buchanan. Broadway, a two-lane paved road, borders the site to the 1-2 Rev. 07108 | |||
east and is the primary access road to the site. The village roads of Bleakley Avenue and First Street enter Broadway across from the eastern site boundary. Additionally, a paved road Jinks the eastern boundary of the site to the plants. . | |||
: b. Site Authority and Control | |||
. The Indian Point Site is operated by the Nuclear Facility Operator (NFO) which is Entergy Nuclear Northeast. Unit 2 and 3 are currently operating. Unit 1 is not in operation and has been defueled. The Indian Point site is shown on Figure 1-4. | |||
ElJtergyNuclear Northeast has th~ authority to determine and control all activities occurring within the site boundary. This includes the exclusion or removal of personnel and property from the. site. | |||
There are no residences, public highways or railroads within the site boundary. . . | |||
: c. Regional Topography The topography within 10 miles of Indian Point is characterized by elevations rising to over 1000 feet from 200 around the Hudson River Valley, the Annsville Creek Drainage System Valley, the Croton River Valley and New Croton Reservoir *and the lowlands near and west of Hackensack, De Forest. Congers and Rockland Lake.. | |||
The Hudson River Valley is less than 2 miles wide from Cold Spring to Annsville and folloWs the river. The river flows south from Cold Spring then turns to the southwest just south of the Bear Mountain Bridge. | |||
The Annsville Valley joins the Hudson about two miles north of Indian Point from the. northeast. Manitou Mountain is to the north of this intersection, Jacobs Hill to the east and Dunderberg Mountain to the west. From there, the Hudson Valley widens to the south away from the river. The valley is about 3 miles wide at Indian* Point where it is bounded on the west by Bald and Buckberg Mountains and on the east by the Blue and Spitzenberg Mountains. The river turns to the southwest, flows past Indian Point, turns *to the south southeast and widens into Haverstraw Bay before narrOwing again and exiting south of Ossining. At 4 miles south of Indian Point, the valley is about 5 miles wide. The Croton Valley joins from the northeast The Hudson Valley narrows and exits with the river. Prickly Pear Mountain is to the north, Ganungs and Catamount Hills are to the east. Hook and SOuth Mountains to the west separate the Hudson River valley from the lowland to the south. | |||
~etween 200 and 300 feet of the east wall of the Hudson Valley is broken by the irregular drainage patterns between Blue Mountain and 1-3 Rev. 07108 | |||
Prickley Pear Hill. The west wall is broken between 300 and 400 feet by the valleys with Minisceongo Creek and Cedar Pond. | |||
: d. Plant Description The Indian Point Energy Center (lPEC) is approximately 239 acres in size and contains two operating pressurized water reactors (PWR), Unit 2 (3,216 MWt, 1,066 MWe), and Unit 3 (3,180 MWt. 1,075 MWe). The two operating plants were'designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation. | |||
The Indian Point pressurized'water nuclear power plants each contain a reactor vessel with four loops of pressurized water and four pumps within the containment structure to remove the heat energy from the reactor core. This energy is transferred in the steam generator to the secondary water system, generating steam, which leaves containment to drive a turbine generator set and produce electric power. This is shown in Figure 1-5. | |||
The nature of the uranium fuel in the reactor core at the Indian Point Energy Center (lPEC) precludes the possibility of a nuclear explosion (a ' | |||
weapon-type detonation). Other types of accidents are possible. These accidents. should they oCcur, would be contained within the reactor containment building. Nonetheless, an accidental release of radioactive materials to the off-site environment remains a remote possibility. If s~ch a release should Occur, the radioactive materials released would be comprised primarily of radioactive ioqine, xenon, and krypton gases. | |||
B. PURPOSE The' purpose of this plan is to mitigate the effects of a radiological emergency that may be caused by an offsite release of radiation from the Indian Point'Energy Center. | |||
It provides for preparedness and response activities to lessen or eliminate damage to life and property within the 1O-mile emergency-planning zone. It also provides for recovery to normal conditions as quickly as possible. | |||
This plan assigns duties and responsibilities to various local; private, public and volunteer agencies, which have the capabilities to successfully protect life and property in the affected area. | |||
The plan makes apparent the need for a coordinated planning and response effort by local officials to alleviate a radiological emergency situation. It outlines a course of action to satisfy those coordinated response efforts, along with methods of obtaining supplem~ntal assistance from other sources. ' | |||
The plan endorses the use of the Incident Command System (ICS) as developed by the National Incident Management System (NJMS) and complies with Homeland 1-4 Rev. 07/08 | |||
Security Presidential Directive 5 (HSPD-5) and the National Response Plan (NRP). | |||
County response personnel operating at the EOC will be organized by ICS function. | |||
The EOC organization may be modified by the Incident Commander depending upon the nature of the emergency and the flexibility provided by NIMS. | |||
C. SCOPE The plari provides for the early notification of responsible officials and agencies, the evaluation of the severity of the situation, the initiation of protective actions to safeguard'life, health and property. the coordination ofassistanee furnished by all levels of government and the interface with all outside agencies to accomplish the purpose of the plan. ' | |||
Federal guidance for the preparation of radiological emergency response plans is provided in the document entitled, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear | |||
*Power Plants" (NUREG-0654IFEMA REP-1 Rev.1). This document is issued jointly by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). It establishes 16 planning standards, 15 of which specify items to be addressed | |||
,in local radiological emergency response plans. Items to be addressed by state and licensee response plans are similarly indicated. ' | |||
Although this plan follpws the federal guidance and evaluation criteria specifiC to nuclear power plants. the emphasis is placed on the County's ability to respond realistically and effectively to a radiological emergency. | |||
: 1. Emergency Planning Zones Within the scope Of the plan, there are two Emergency Planning Zones (EPZs) which must be addressed.' These zones are defined as the areas for which planning is needed to assure that prompt and effective actions can be taken to protect the public in the event of an accident They have been designed in size to accommodate the need for actions in regard to the potential degree of radiological exposure. The first is the Plume Exposure Pathway and the second is the Ingestion Exposure Pathway. | |||
.The Plume Exposure Pathway is that area around the reactor, which is within approximately 10 miles of the Indian Point site. Although the radius for an EPZ implies a circular area, the actual shape depends upon the physical' and demographic features within that zone. The guidance in NUREG-06541 FEMA*HEP-1 Rev. 1 states "The principal exposure sources from this pathway are: (a) whole body external exposure to gamma radiation from the plume and from deposited material; and. (b) inhalation eXposure from the passing radioactive plume." The time of potential exposure could range in length from hours to days. | |||
1-5 Rev. 07108 | |||
W~hin the approximate 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) in Rockland County municipal areas, generally bounded by streets or other recognized boundaries, have been'idenlified . These are referred to as Planning Areas. | |||
The delineation of these Areas is based on the following criteria: | |||
* Major population areas have been preserved or grouped. | |||
* . The boundary definitions have been simplified as much as pOssible (by using, e.g., political andlor municipal divisions or major roads) for purposes of clarity. | |||
* Important topographic features, such as rivers, hills, and valleys have been utilized as boundaries when practical. | |||
* . The size and orientation of the planning areas are adequate to respond to varioUs levels of accident severity. | |||
* The effects !If meteorological conditions and patterns which can be responded to have been taken into consideration. | |||
Protective action recommendations for the general public will be taken by reference to the respective Area (refer to Appendix AJ. If ~ is decided that any portion of an*Area requires a protective action, then the entire Area will be involved in this protective action. | |||
The Ingestion Exposure Pathway is that area within a radius of approximately 50 miles, including It1e 1O-mile EPZ, from the nuclear reactor s~e. The principal exposure from this pathway would be from Ingestion of contaminated water or foods such as milk, fresh vegetables, or fish. The time of potential expoSure Could range in length from hours to months. The State of New York has the primary l'E1$i>onsibil~ for developing emergency plans for the Ingestion Exposure Pathway. | |||
The 'concept of these zoneS and their respective .sizes represent a judgment on the kind and extent of planning which must be done and on the appropriate types of response activities needed for the effective protection of the public hea~h . In a given emergency, protective actions might be restricted to a small . | |||
part of either Of-both planning zones. | |||
The rationale for detenmining the two planning zones and defining their parameters can be found in NUREG-0396IEPA 520/1-78-016 entitled, "Planning Basis for the Development of State and Local Government Radiological Emergency Response Plans in Support of Light Water Nuclear Power Plants." | |||
1-6 Rev. 07108 | |||
: 2. Emergency Classifications A standardized method has been established by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for the NFO to classify the severity of an incident at a nuclear plant. These classifications have been adopted by all local, State and Federal governments and are used by RoCkland County. | |||
The NRC requires that when an initiating condition for any of the four emergency classes exists, the Nuclear Facility Operator provide early and prompt notification to County. State and Federal officials. The following emergency classes are used for such notification: | |||
: a. Notification of Events are in progress or have occurred. Which Unusual Event (NUE) indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant No releases of radioactive material ~uiring offsite response or-monitoring are expected unless further degradation of | |||
, safety systems occurs. | |||
: b. Alert Events are in progress or have occurred. which involve-an actual or potential substantial degradation in the level of safety of the plant. | |||
Any -releases are expected to be limited to. small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels (Reter to Section III.B.6). | |||
: c. Site Area Events are in progress or have occurred Emergency (SAE) which involve actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to . | |||
exceed EPA Protection Guideline exposure levelS except near the site boundary. | |||
: d. General Events are in progress or have occurred which | |||
. Emergency (GE) - involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential loss of containment integrity. -Releases can b~ | |||
reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area. | |||
D. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS A Rocldand County Radiological Response Organization has been developed to provide a response to a radiological emergency at the Indian Point Energy Center to effectively protect the health and safety of the public. -Its objective is to make timely and accurate protective action recommendations to the public and 1-7 Rev. 07108 | |||
effectively implement those actions, as necessary. The Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan calls for the following sequence of events for effective respoilse to an emergency: | |||
: 1. Initial Notification And Mobilization To begin a response to an emergency, the Radiological Response Organization must be notified and mobilized. Notification and Activation is described in Section.III.B.2. Emergency communications to notify and mobilize the Radiological Response Organization are 'described in Section III.B.4. . | |||
: 2. Accident Assessment To determine ~ protective actions must be taken for the public" an "accident aSsessmenr must be conducted. In the first step of the assessment, plant and weather conditions are evaluated. Radiological monitoring teanis would be sent out to' measure radiation levels. These teams will pass on data to the EOC, where it will be evaluated along with information*from the plant. The evaluation cOnsists of calculations to predict the effeCts ota radiation release on the public in the 10-mile EPZ. These predictions will be compared to | |||
, Environmental Protection Agency's Pr;otective Action Guides WAGs) for emergency radi3tion levels. Once the predicted effects are compared to the PAGs, a decision, which incorporates other pertinent decision,rnaking information such as available County resources, must be made on what protective actions must be taken. Radiological Assessment and Evaluation of Protective Action Response Options is described in Section III.B.S. | |||
: 3. Protective Actions The Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan contains procedures for determining appropriate protective action(s) based on the comparisons discussed above. These actions, which are described in Section III.B.8, include: | |||
Initial Precautionary Operations Shener-in-Place of SelectedlFacilijiesiPopulations Shener~n-Place General Evacuation Isolation of Ingestion Pathways and Sources The County Executivel Emergency Director may re.commend shelter in place, or staying indoors, for designated Areas. Public notification'ot-the need to sheHer-in-place will be accomplished through use of sirens and the Emergency AJert System. SheHer-in-place actions may be terminated wihen the likelihood of exposure to radiation levels in excess of the PAGs no longer exists. | |||
If the County Executive/Emergency Director ealled for the evacuation of any or all Areas within the County, the publiC will be notified by sirens, torie alert 1-8 Rev. 07108 | |||
radios, route alerting, reverse 911 automated calling systems, and messages on the Emergency Alert System. Public Notification is described in Section III.B.S. | |||
Traffic control points will be established and potential impediments 10 evacuation will be removed by tow trucks or other heavy equipment (Refer to Section IILB.8) | |||
People without transportation will be evacuated by buses that will follow the | |||
. routes identified in the public information brochure, which* is distributed to the | |||
. public living within the 1O-mile EPZ. The evacuation of Special Facilities such is as nursing homes and hospitals also coordinated by the Radiological Response Organization. (Refer to Section III.B.8) | |||
Schools within the 1O-mile EPZ WIll be directed to follow one of the following alternatives depending on the level of emergency and expected conditions: | |||
continue normal school operation until end of day, close schools for the duration of the emergency, shelter children in the school, evacuate children to pre-designated School Reception Centers or relocate children to another facility, if | |||
The | . necessary, prior to a release. (Refer to Section III.B.8) | ||
The evacuation of Non...lnstitutionaflZed Mobility Impaired individuals is also coordinated by the RadiologicafResponse Organization. The County has developed a list of these people from maiJ...in cards included in the public information brochure. (Refer to Section III.B.8) . | |||
Public Reception Centers will. be established to provide registration and other assistance., monitoring. and decontamination of evacuees should'these activities be required and distribution of potassium iodide, if requested. Congregate Care Centers will also be established to provide temporary housing, food, and first aid to displaced evacuees. (Refer to Section III.B.8) , | |||
, 4. .Emergency Worker Protection Measures will be taken to protect emergency workers from over..-exposure to radiation. Each worker will have the capability to monitor hislher exposure through the proper use of personal dosimetry. An Emergency Worker Personnel Monitoring Center will be established to monitor and decontaminate a worker should these activities be required. (Refer to Section III.B.7) | |||
: 5. Public Education/Information (Refer to Sections III.B.3 and III.B.S) | |||
Effective response to a radiological emergency requires that the public be infoimed about procedures to be followed and actions that would be taken. | |||
. Important to the overall effectiveness of the plan is public knowledge and under-standing both before and during a radiological emergency at the Indian Point Energy Center. To accomplish this, the County has developed a complete public information program for the public.. This program involves: | |||

Advance Information in Case of an Emergency at the Indian Point Energy Center Rockland County disseminates public information to residents, speciai facilities, and transients in the 10-mile EPZ on an ann~al basis through public information brochures, telephone book inserts, stickers, periodic news releases, the County Radio System 1640 AM and the County Government Website www.rocklandgov.com. | |||
: b. Emergency Information The County will advise the public of the sUitus of an Indian Point emergency and any recommended protective actions using the Emergency Alert System. Information will focus on the nature of the emergency and the recommended response, if any. The release of information will be coordinated with appropriate Federal, State, and County authorities and the Nuclear Facility Operator. | |||
E. GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES Radiological emergency responsibilities are shared by all levels' of government and the Nuclear Facility Operator. These responsibilities will be met at the local or county level until such time that the County's r~ources have been exhausted. At that point, in addition to technical guidance and evaluation, thec.ounty will request State and Federal Government resource assistance. | |||
The person responsible for the County's response is called the Emergency Coordinator. The Emergency Coordinator at any time has the authority to declare a "local state 'of emergency." This 'provides the Coordinator with the command of all county and local resources. Should the seriousness of the emergency warrant it, the Coordinator has the authority to request the Governor to make a "StateE~ergency Declaration," which would make readily available the full resources of the State of New York. Upon declaration of the "State Disaster Emergency, RocIQand County becomes II an agent of the State's efforts to mitigate the effect the emerg~ncy may have on the . | |||
health and safety of the public. . | |||
Additionally, the declaration of "State Disaster Emergency" provides the opportunity for the State to request large scale Federal Government assistance for Rockland County. | |||
: 1. County ResP.Qnsibility For Rockland County to meet its responsibility to its residents in a radiological emergencyt it will be nece~ary to .perform the following operations: | |||
a.' Monitor arid assess the scope and magnitude of the incident. | |||
: b. Evaluate and decide what protective action response options should be initiated. . | |||
. 1-10 Rev. 07108 | |||
: c. Implement the appropriate protective action response option, which may be to take one or more of the following actions: | |||
: 1. Initial Precautionary Operations | |||
The | : 2. Shelter-in-Place of Selected Facilities/Populations | ||
: 3. Shelter-in-Place . | |||
: 4. General Evacuation | |||
: 5. Isolation of Ingestion Pathways and Sou~ces In addition to these actions, the successful implementation of this plan will depend on efficient and effective coordination with other emergency response organizations and with Orange, Putnam, and Westchester counties, Bergen County (NJ), New York state and the Nuclear Facility Operator (NFO). ROCkland County's resources, such as the EOC and Communications, will be made availabie to support an initial federal response element. Additional resources will be provided by New York State and ~rdinated on a regional level. | |||
: 2. State Resoon§ibility. | |||
It is the reSponsibility of the State of New York to recommend and/or order protective actions, which will prevent or minimize radiation exposure to the population in the event of a radiological release incident. The State will also | |||
'provide technical guidance and evaluation. Other than the extension of credit, assistance in the,forms of personnel, equipment, supplies, services and' facilities may be provided when local resources are insufficient to cope with the effects of the emergency.. The State shall take the necessary actions to respond in those instances where a county does not have the capability'to implement all or part of its Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan. The State will assign a State Emergency Management Office (SEMO) liaison to the County Emergency Operations Center (EOC), who will coordinate the support | |||
,from the New York State Disaster Preparedness Commission* (NYSDPC). The State of New York has the responsibility to contact federal organizations and coordinate their respo~se. | |||
: 3. Federal Govemment Responsibility If it is necessary, in the opinion' of the Govemor. the State will request Federal assistance. The three major federal agencies are the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The NRC is responsible for onsite technical response including monitoring', assessment, technical control, and the' prediction of the impact of a radiological release. | |||
DHS is responsible for offsite non-technical response. This would include coordinating with State and local agencies and offering assistance where possible. ' | |||
1-11 Rev. 07108 | |||
the | A third federal agency is the Department of Energy (DOE). At the direction of the State Commissioner 'of Health, DOE, through the Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan, will coordinate all' offsite monitoring, evaluation, assessment and reporting of the activities of participating Federal agencies. | ||
State resources such as command posts and communications will be made available to support the'federal response. | |||
. | : 4. Nuclear Facility Operator Responsibility The operators of the nuclear plant involved in a radiological emergency have a responsibility to offsite authorities. They have the initial responsibility for declaring and asseSsing an incident at the site, providing dose projections, protective action recommendations and taking immediate actions to mitigate or terminate the emergency. It is their responsibility to notify the State and local govemments, the NRC and other federal agencies as necessary. In addition to notification, they are responsible for onsite and offsite monitoring and sample conection. They must remain in contact with the State and local officials for consultation and assessments of the emergency's progression. | ||

If a control station in one of the counties were out of service, its sirens could be activated by another control station within the county, or if agreed, by another county. All of the computer/REACT-4000/cell modem units have battery backup power capable of providing a minimum of 24-hours of operation in case of primary power failure. Sirens can be activated by either the REACT -4000 alone (radio) or the computer (REACT 4000 or TCPIIP).

There are two redundant radio paths used to communicate between the control stations and sirens. Each path includes radio antennas at each tower, radio frequency transmitters/receivers at each tower and a communication link between towers. Only one of these paths is in full operation at a time, with the other normally in standby. The receiver paths at the towers are always maintained in operation and can therefore process any signals received, but only one transmitter can operate depending on which one is selected to be in service. Failure of the service path would result in automatic transfer to the standby path. There are no shared components in the signal transmission path used to activate and monitor the sirens except for the equipment building and tower structure, the equipment maintaining the time stamp for synchronization with the sirens, and both paths share the same battery backup. The control circuits used for tower alarms and channel switching are also shared. The towers communicate to each other through redundant communication links. One of these communication links uses microwaves and the other uses Telco T1 telephone lines. The redundant controlling electronics for processing the multiple signals received by the 111-15 Rev. 05/10 towers are located in different facilities: | There are two redundant radio paths used to communicate between the control stations and sirens.

For the T1 path, it is the IPEC Met Tower and for the microwave path it is Tinker Hill Tower. Control signals to transfer between communication links are processed through the IPEC General Support Building (GSB) with the capability to manually transfer this function to the IPEC EOF as a backup. Loss of one of the tower communication links would not prevent the Radio System from activating or monitoring the sirens.

Each repeater tower also has a monitoring unit which provides alarm monitoring and control for the radio system at the towers and communicates to the control stations by a separate radio and TCPIIP cell modem, each having its own antenna. The monitor processes signals to indicate alarm conditions at the repeater towers resulting from component failures, activates or blocks either the microwave transceivers or the Telco T1 line transceivers depending on which tower communication path is desired, powers down several components in the standby channel if there is a loss of AC power at the towers, and initiates a transfer between the microwave mode and Telco T1 mode when conditions dictate (manually, automatically on a major component failure, or automatically on a regular scheduled, if selected). | towers are located in different facilities: For the T1 path, it is the IPEC Met Tower and for the microwave path it is Tinker Hill Tower. | ||
Each control and alarm communication path to the towers is independent of the other except where these signals are processed through common circuit boards and where components in the redundant communication paths are housed in common enclosures at the control stations and towers.

(b) If schools are in the process of opening or are in session: 111-30 Rev. 05/10 Continue normal school session until the end of the school day, at which time students will be sent home in the regular manner (Buses may be held). or Close all schools in Rockland County and send students home in accordance with each school's "Go Home Plan". or Direct that the students and staff in the schools designated by the Emergency Coordinator shelter-in-place in the school facility. | (3) Notification of special facilities, e.g., nursing homes, hospitals/health care facilities. | ||
or Relocate students to an alternate facility prior to a release. or If the Emergency Coordinator determines that certain schools in the 10 mile EPZ should be evacuated directly to School Reception Centers, then he/she will order such action to be taken for the appropriate schools. b. Selective Shelter-in-Place Shelter-in-place is the protective action advising the public to seek shelter in a permanent, reasonably air tight structure until further notice. Additional instructions could include closing doors and windows, reducing outside air intake from heating and cooling systems, extinguishing fires and closing flues in fireplaces, and continuing to listen to their Emergency Alert Systems (EAS) TV and/or radio station. | (4) Consideration of available school (public and private, nursery and day care, elementary, middle, and high) alternatives: (School Superintendents or designees will notify private, parochial, and nursery schools within their district) | ||
This option is an effective protective action for individuals who could not be safely evacuated if it were necessary. | (a) If schools are not in session: | ||
These individuals include those who have been designated medically unable to evacuate as well as those individuals who require constant, sophisticated medical attention or are incarcerated. | Close all schools in Rockland County until further notice. | ||
The primary locations for implementing this protective action are the Helen Hayes Rehabilitation Hospital in West Haverstraw, the Robert E. Yeager Health Center in Pomona, and the County Correctional Facility in New City. The execution of this protective action should be implemented in accordance with the procedures developed for these facilities and other locations where there are members of the public for whom Selective Shelter-in-Place would be an appropriate action. 111-31 Rev. 05/10 The implementation of this protective action requires that the Public Information Officer advise the public regarding the action to be taken and that the Special Facilities Coordinator and Sheriff notify the above mentioned facilities. | (b) If schools are in the process of opening or are in session: | ||
: c. General Shelter -in-Place This option is an effective protective action for the general public in the event of a puff-type radiological release.

dictate that directing the public to seek shelter is a more feasible and effective protective measure. A puff-type radiological release is defined as a concentrated release of radioisotopes for a short-term and predictable duration. | |||
For an incident of this type, the most effective protective response action is immediate, temporary sheltering of the general public in the affected areas. The implementation of this protective action requires that the Public Information Officer advise the public regarding the action to be taken. d. General Evacuation Evacuation is the protective action advising the public to leave an area until further notice and restricting access to that area. This option provides for the capability to evacuate the general public from any or all affected or potentially affected areas within the Rockland County 10 mile EPZ. The Evacuation Plan is based on the identification of both the population to be evacuated and the transportation resources required to accomplish this evacuation. | Continue normal school session until the end of the school day, at which time students will be sent home in the regular manner (Buses may be held). | ||

The resident population for each of the planning areas along with totals for the EPZ in each county are shown in Appendix B. The designation of Areas provides the Emergency Coordinator with the flexibility to evacuate portions of the 10-mile EPZ by readily identifiable segments of the area. (b) Evacuation Travel Time Estimates After the Emergency Coordinator orders an evacuation, some members of the public will have been able to leave the 10-mile EPZ within 30 minutes or less. On the other hand, due to traffic congestion, availability of buses and special vehicles, weather conditions, etc., it could take a significantly longer period of time before the last person is outside the EPZ (see Appendix C for Evacuation Time Estimates). | : b. Selective Shelter-in-Place Shelter-in-place is the protective action advising the public to seek shelter in a permanent, reasonably air tight structure until further notice. Additional instructions could include closing doors and windows, reducing outside air intake from heating and cooling systems, extinguishing fires and closing flues in fireplaces, and continuing to listen to their Emergency Alert Systems (EAS) TV and/or radio station. | ||
Nevertheless, most people will be traveling by automobile and the designated primary and secondary evacuation routes are able to handle a substantial amount of traffic.

The intermediate phase of an accident at a nuclear power plant is defined as that period beginning after the source and releases have been brought under control and environmental measurements are available for use as a basis for decisions on protection actions. During this phase the primary source of exposure to the population is assumed to be due to deposited radionuclides which includes the following pathways: . o external gamma radiation from deposited radioactive materials or groundshine which is expected to be the dominant source; o internal exposure from inhalation of resuspended materials; o ingestion oUood and water (covered in Section III of the NYS REP Plan); o beta radiation; and o direct ingestion of contaminated soil. During this phase of an accident, protective actions responses will include restrictions on food and/orwater (covered in Section III oftheNYS REP Plan), and relocation. | The intermediate phase of an accident at a nuclear power plant is defined as that period beginning after the source and releases have been brought under control and environmental measurements are available for use as a basis for decisions on protection actions. | ||
It is expected that this phase of an accident might last from weeks to many months. The late phasfi' of a nuclear power plant accident consists of recovery activities aimed at reducing radiation levels in the environment so as to permit unrestricted, long-term use of property. | During this phase the primary source of exposure to the population is assumed to be due to deposited radionuclides which includes the following pathways: . | ||

Departments of Agriculture and Markets, Commerce, Health, Environmental Conservation, Labor, Social Services, State, Transportation, Office of General Services, State Energy Office, Public Service Commission, DiviSion of State Police and Division of Military and Naval Affairs/SEMO. Response organizations will be notified that recovery activities are being initiated. This will be accomplished utilizing the Executive Hotline, the RECS line, Ebc briefings, and press releases. | |||
2.0 RESPONSIBILITIES The Committee is responsible for directing State resources and intermediate and late phase activities and. for assisting in the total cooperative effort involving any or all of the other organizations having recognized roles in intermediate and late phase operations. | |||
During intermediate and late phase operations the Committee is responsible for developing practical time parameters *and activities consistent with this plan, and insures that there are adequate communications systems and prOceSses for all State activities. | |||
The Committee reports to the DPC and keeps it apprised of all matters relating to the recovery effort. | |||
The New York state Commissioner of Health continues to have the primary. responsibility for recommending protective actions i.e. relocation; for overseeing the total related radiological program including recovery activities; for modifying, and relaxing protective actions including allOwing the reentry of evacuated or restricted areas; and discontinuing protective actions allowing the return of the evacuated population. | |||
The Director of the State Emergency Management Office (SEMO) coordinates State and Federal assistance and programs with perceived m~eds and the requests of the local jurisdictions. | |||
Local Chief Executives assess the needs of their affected areas in conjunction with the State Emergency Management Office. They direct intermediate and late phase operations in their jurisdictions. State directed intermediate and late phase operations and protective actions are coordinated with the respected jurisdictions, The Governor may appoint a Recovery Planning Council (as designated by Title VIII, Section 802 of the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965, as added by Title V of Public Law 93-288 - "The Disaster Relief Act of 1974'') to help determine local needs in IDe recovery effort. | |||
3.0 RELOCATION OPERATIONS Before asseSSing relocation and/or reentry of the public it is necessary to insure that the source of the release or the threat of a release is under control. Accident Assessment staff considerations include: | |||
IV-6 Rev. 04/04 | |||
o whether there is a radioactive material inventory capable of being released offsite; o if barriers to a release are threatened by fire, facility control, the presence of hydrogen or other explosive gas, core melt through, pressure build up (decay heat). direct containment heating (high pressure melt through), or isolation failure; o whether the reactor is shutdown (subcritical) and whether or not it can go critical; and o whether the core is being cooled. | |||
Based on analysis of survey results including aerial monitoring data, Aerial Measuring Service (AMS). ground monitoring (State, county and NFO field team data), and sample isotopic analysis, Accident Assessment staff will determine the location of the isodose line corresponding to the relocation PAG (> or = 2 rem- first year). Relocation PAGs are outlined in Table 1. . | |||
Based on Accident Assessment recommendations, and in consultation with local officials, the Commissioner of DOH will order the establishment of a restricted zone, which will include that area in excess of the relocation PAG and an appropriate buffer zone. Buffer zone considerations include geopolitical boundaries, major roads and landmarks, neighborhood boundaries, as well as the potential for transport of the deposited radionuclides. | |||
Division of State Police in conjunction with county and local police agencies will identify control points necessary to control ingress and egress to the restricted zone. | |||
The Committee, and .specifically the Human Needs Task Force, in coordination with appropriate federal, county and local agencies, will implement the relocation order and address the various needs of the relocating population including short and long term housing, job loss, replacement of belongings, and any special needs that may arise. To the extent possible, human need services, federal disaster assistance, and N.FO insurance assistance will be coordinated at Disaster Assistance Centers located as to be convenient to the relocating population. Priority will be given to relocation of persons in the highest exposure rate areas. Persons previously evacuated from areas now determined to be restricted will be designated as relocated. | |||
Additional monitoring/decontamination stations will be established to support control of the restricted zone. | |||

MonitOring programs initiated during the response phase will continue during recovery until acceptable levels are reached. . . | |||
As efforts are. completed it may be possible to tighten the boundaries of the restricted zone as recommended by the Commissioner of DOH. | |||

8.0 NONTECHNICAL ASSISTANCE State and Federal assistance can be made available to assist affected counties in recovering from the effects of cit radiological emergency. | |||
Article 2-B of the New York State Executive Law provides that when the Governor declares a disaster emergency for an affected area he may direct any and all agencies of the State govemment to provide assistance under the coordination of the OPC. Such State assistance may include: | |||
o utilizing, lending, or giving to political subdivisions, with or without compensation; therefore, equipment, supplies, facilities, services of State personnel, and other resources, other than the extension of credit; . | |||
o distributing medicine, medical supplies, food and other consumable supplies through any public or private agency authorized to distribute the same; o making such other use of their facilities, equipment, supplies and personnel as may be necessary. | |||
IV-10 Rev. 04/04 | |||
The Chief Executive 6fficer of any affected county which has need of Federal disaster assistance accumulates and submits thorough SEMO Regional Office to the Director, SEMO, data as required by Public Law 93-288 and appropriate regulations. This data will be submitted to the Govemor through the Recovery Committee and the Chairman of the Disaster Preparedness Commission with a recommendation as to whether the Govemor should request the President to declare an Emergency or Disaster as defined by Public Law 93-288. If such a request is made and granted, the Federal assistance whIch will then be provided would be administered by the Director, SEMO, for the Recovery Committee, appropriate State agencies and local govemments in accordance with procedures adopted for use in administering Federal aid for any other typ'e of an emergency or disaster declared by the President. | |||
In instances where a Presidential declaration is either not requested or granted, specifiC types of Federal assistance may be provided by individual Federal agencies acting within their own statutory authorities. The Govemor may request such assistance. based on recommendations of the Director of the State Emergency Management Office and the Recovery Committee which will be submitted through the Chairman of the Disaster Preparedness Commission. | |||
Medical follow-up to monitor the effects of radiation on the public and emergency workers after the incident may be.established, if required. Currently, the State Department of Health conducts an ongOing study of selected health statistics for counties with and without nuclear facilities as part of its epidemiological program. This pr()gram will be enhanced in the event of a radiological emergencY_ | |||

The major industrial and commercial areas are situated along Route 9W in the Town of Haverstraw and along the Route 59 and Route 303 corridors south of the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ).
A map showing that area of Rockland County 'within ten (10) miles of Indian Point is presented in Appendix A.
- b. .Rockland County Population The northern half of Rockland County is situated within the EPZ of Indian Point with a population of approximately 118,197 (refer to Appendix B). The entire towns of Stony Point, Haverstraw, and large Portions of the towns of Ramapo and Clarkstown are .within this planning zone. The total Rockland County population is distributed among five towns.
The population data indicates that the county area within 5 miles of Indian Point is a low population density area with the exception of the southern sector villages of Havel"$traw and West Haverstraw.
ApproXimately eighty percent of the total county population within the ten mile emergency planning zone is five to ten miles from Indian Point in the southern sector of the county. .
- c. Special Facilities and Institutions Rockland County special facilities, aside from schools, camps, and
.nursing homes within the Indian Point Energy Center 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone, include a hospital, a health center, a park system and the county jail.
A listing of all the county ~pecial facilities within ten (10) miles of the Indian Point Energy Center is presented in Procedure SFC-1. Special Facilities CooroinatorEmergency Response Actions*and Procedure SCH-1, Schools Emergency Response Actions.
- 2. . Indian Point Energy Center Description
- a. Site Location The Indian Point Energy Center (IPEG) is located on the east bank of the Hudson River about 24. miles north of New York City, at Indian Point, Village of Buchanan in upper Westchester County, New York State. The station is about 0.8 miles southwest of the City of Peekskill; of 8.3 miles south West Point; and 2.3 miles north of Montrose point.
Figures 1-1 and 1-2 show the location of Indian Point and its environs within ten and fifty miles respectively. Figure 1-3 indicates major features near the* site.
The Indian Point Site is accessible by several roads in the Village of Buchanan. Broadway, a two-lane paved road, borders the site to the 1-2 Rev. 07108
east and is the primary access road to the site. The village roads of Bleakley Avenue and First Street enter Broadway across from the eastern site boundary. Additionally, a paved road Jinks the eastern boundary of the site to the plants. .
- b. Site Authority and Control
. The Indian Point Site is operated by the Nuclear Facility Operator (NFO) which is Entergy Nuclear Northeast. Unit 2 and 3 are currently operating. Unit 1 is not in operation and has been defueled. The Indian Point site is shown on Figure 1-4.
ElJtergyNuclear Northeast has th~ authority to determine and control all activities occurring within the site boundary. This includes the exclusion or removal of personnel and property from the. site.
There are no residences, public highways or railroads within the site boundary. . .
- c. Regional Topography The topography within 10 miles of Indian Point is characterized by elevations rising to over 1000 feet from 200 around the Hudson River Valley, the Annsville Creek Drainage System Valley, the Croton River Valley and New Croton Reservoir *and the lowlands near and west of Hackensack, De Forest. Congers and Rockland Lake..
The Hudson River Valley is less than 2 miles wide from Cold Spring to Annsville and folloWs the river. The river flows south from Cold Spring then turns to the southwest just south of the Bear Mountain Bridge.
The Annsville Valley joins the Hudson about two miles north of Indian Point from the. northeast. Manitou Mountain is to the north of this intersection, Jacobs Hill to the east and Dunderberg Mountain to the west. From there, the Hudson Valley widens to the south away from the river. The valley is about 3 miles wide at Indian* Point where it is bounded on the west by Bald and Buckberg Mountains and on the east by the Blue and Spitzenberg Mountains. The river turns to the southwest, flows past Indian Point, turns *to the south southeast and widens into Haverstraw Bay before narrOwing again and exiting south of Ossining. At 4 miles south of Indian Point, the valley is about 5 miles wide. The Croton Valley joins from the northeast The Hudson Valley narrows and exits with the river. Prickly Pear Mountain is to the north, Ganungs and Catamount Hills are to the east. Hook and SOuth Mountains to the west separate the Hudson River valley from the lowland to the south.
~etween 200 and 300 feet of the east wall of the Hudson Valley is broken by the irregular drainage patterns between Blue Mountain and 1-3 Rev. 07108
Prickley Pear Hill. The west wall is broken between 300 and 400 feet by the valleys with Minisceongo Creek and Cedar Pond.
- d. Plant Description The Indian Point Energy Center (lPEC) is approximately 239 acres in size and contains two operating pressurized water reactors (PWR), Unit 2 (3,216 MWt, 1,066 MWe), and Unit 3 (3,180 MWt. 1,075 MWe). The two operating plants were'designed by Westinghouse Electric Corporation.
The Indian Point pressurized'water nuclear power plants each contain a reactor vessel with four loops of pressurized water and four pumps within the containment structure to remove the heat energy from the reactor core. This energy is transferred in the steam generator to the secondary water system, generating steam, which leaves containment to drive a turbine generator set and produce electric power. This is shown in Figure 1-5.
The nature of the uranium fuel in the reactor core at the Indian Point Energy Center (lPEC) precludes the possibility of a nuclear explosion (a '
weapon-type detonation). Other types of accidents are possible. These accidents. should they oCcur, would be contained within the reactor containment building. Nonetheless, an accidental release of radioactive materials to the off-site environment remains a remote possibility. If s~ch a release should Occur, the radioactive materials released would be comprised primarily of radioactive ioqine, xenon, and krypton gases.
B. PURPOSE The' purpose of this plan is to mitigate the effects of a radiological emergency that may be caused by an offsite release of radiation from the Indian Point'Energy Center.
It provides for preparedness and response activities to lessen or eliminate damage to life and property within the 1O-mile emergency-planning zone. It also provides for recovery to normal conditions as quickly as possible.
This plan assigns duties and responsibilities to various local; private, public and volunteer agencies, which have the capabilities to successfully protect life and property in the affected area.
The plan makes apparent the need for a coordinated planning and response effort by local officials to alleviate a radiological emergency situation. It outlines a course of action to satisfy those coordinated response efforts, along with methods of obtaining supplem~ntal assistance from other sources. '
The plan endorses the use of the Incident Command System (ICS) as developed by the National Incident Management System (NJMS) and complies with Homeland 1-4 Rev. 07/08
Security Presidential Directive 5 (HSPD-5) and the National Response Plan (NRP).
County response personnel operating at the EOC will be organized by ICS function.
The EOC organization may be modified by the Incident Commander depending upon the nature of the emergency and the flexibility provided by NIMS.
C. SCOPE The plari provides for the early notification of responsible officials and agencies, the evaluation of the severity of the situation, the initiation of protective actions to safeguard'life, health and property. the coordination ofassistanee furnished by all levels of government and the interface with all outside agencies to accomplish the purpose of the plan. '
Federal guidance for the preparation of radiological emergency response plans is provided in the document entitled, "Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear
- Power Plants" (NUREG-0654IFEMA REP-1 Rev.1). This document is issued jointly by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). It establishes 16 planning standards, 15 of which specify items to be addressed
,in local radiological emergency response plans. Items to be addressed by state and licensee response plans are similarly indicated. '
Although this plan follpws the federal guidance and evaluation criteria specifiC to nuclear power plants. the emphasis is placed on the County's ability to respond realistically and effectively to a radiological emergency.
- 1. Emergency Planning Zones Within the scope Of the plan, there are two Emergency Planning Zones (EPZs) which must be addressed.' These zones are defined as the areas for which planning is needed to assure that prompt and effective actions can be taken to protect the public in the event of an accident They have been designed in size to accommodate the need for actions in regard to the potential degree of radiological exposure. The first is the Plume Exposure Pathway and the second is the Ingestion Exposure Pathway.
.The Plume Exposure Pathway is that area around the reactor, which is within approximately 10 miles of the Indian Point site. Although the radius for an EPZ implies a circular area, the actual shape depends upon the physical' and demographic features within that zone. The guidance in NUREG-06541 FEMA*HEP-1 Rev. 1 states "The principal exposure sources from this pathway are: (a) whole body external exposure to gamma radiation from the plume and from deposited material; and. (b) inhalation eXposure from the passing radioactive plume." The time of potential exposure could range in length from hours to days.
1-5 Rev. 07108
W~hin the approximate 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) in Rockland County municipal areas, generally bounded by streets or other recognized boundaries, have been'idenlified . These are referred to as Planning Areas.
The delineation of these Areas is based on the following criteria:
- Major population areas have been preserved or grouped.
- . The boundary definitions have been simplified as much as pOssible (by using, e.g., political andlor municipal divisions or major roads) for purposes of clarity.
- Important topographic features, such as rivers, hills, and valleys have been utilized as boundaries when practical.
- . The size and orientation of the planning areas are adequate to respond to varioUs levels of accident severity.
- The effects !If meteorological conditions and patterns which can be responded to have been taken into consideration.
Protective action recommendations for the general public will be taken by reference to the respective Area (refer to Appendix AJ. If ~ is decided that any portion of an*Area requires a protective action, then the entire Area will be involved in this protective action.
The Ingestion Exposure Pathway is that area within a radius of approximately 50 miles, including It1e 1O-mile EPZ, from the nuclear reactor s~e. The principal exposure from this pathway would be from Ingestion of contaminated water or foods such as milk, fresh vegetables, or fish. The time of potential expoSure Could range in length from hours to months. The State of New York has the primary l'E1$i>onsibil~ for developing emergency plans for the Ingestion Exposure Pathway.
The 'concept of these zoneS and their respective .sizes represent a judgment on the kind and extent of planning which must be done and on the appropriate types of response activities needed for the effective protection of the public hea~h . In a given emergency, protective actions might be restricted to a small .
part of either Of-both planning zones.
The rationale for detenmining the two planning zones and defining their parameters can be found in NUREG-0396IEPA 520/1-78-016 entitled, "Planning Basis for the Development of State and Local Government Radiological Emergency Response Plans in Support of Light Water Nuclear Power Plants."
1-6 Rev. 07108
- 2. Emergency Classifications A standardized method has been established by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for the NFO to classify the severity of an incident at a nuclear plant. These classifications have been adopted by all local, State and Federal governments and are used by RoCkland County.
The NRC requires that when an initiating condition for any of the four emergency classes exists, the Nuclear Facility Operator provide early and prompt notification to County. State and Federal officials. The following emergency classes are used for such notification:
- a. Notification of Events are in progress or have occurred. Which Unusual Event (NUE) indicate a potential degradation of the level of safety of the plant No releases of radioactive material ~uiring offsite response or-monitoring are expected unless further degradation of
, safety systems occurs.
- b. Alert Events are in progress or have occurred. which involve-an actual or potential substantial degradation in the level of safety of the plant.
Any -releases are expected to be limited to. small fractions of the EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels (Reter to Section III.B.6).
- c. Site Area Events are in progress or have occurred Emergency (SAE) which involve actual or likely major failures of plant functions needed for protection of the public. Any releases are not expected to .
exceed EPA Protection Guideline exposure levelS except near the site boundary.
- d. General Events are in progress or have occurred which
. Emergency (GE) - involve actual or imminent substantial core degradation or melting with potential loss of containment integrity. -Releases can b~
reasonably expected to exceed EPA Protective Action Guideline exposure levels offsite for more than the immediate site area.
D. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS A Rocldand County Radiological Response Organization has been developed to provide a response to a radiological emergency at the Indian Point Energy Center to effectively protect the health and safety of the public. -Its objective is to make timely and accurate protective action recommendations to the public and 1-7 Rev. 07108
effectively implement those actions, as necessary. The Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan calls for the following sequence of events for effective respoilse to an emergency:
- 1. Initial Notification And Mobilization To begin a response to an emergency, the Radiological Response Organization must be notified and mobilized. Notification and Activation is described in Section.III.B.2. Emergency communications to notify and mobilize the Radiological Response Organization are 'described in Section III.B.4. .
- 2. Accident Assessment To determine ~ protective actions must be taken for the public" an "accident aSsessmenr must be conducted. In the first step of the assessment, plant and weather conditions are evaluated. Radiological monitoring teanis would be sent out to' measure radiation levels. These teams will pass on data to the EOC, where it will be evaluated along with information*from the plant. The evaluation cOnsists of calculations to predict the effeCts ota radiation release on the public in the 10-mile EPZ. These predictions will be compared to
, Environmental Protection Agency's Pr;otective Action Guides WAGs) for emergency radi3tion levels. Once the predicted effects are compared to the PAGs, a decision, which incorporates other pertinent decision,rnaking information such as available County resources, must be made on what protective actions must be taken. Radiological Assessment and Evaluation of Protective Action Response Options is described in Section III.B.S.
- 3. Protective Actions The Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan contains procedures for determining appropriate protective action(s) based on the comparisons discussed above. These actions, which are described in Section III.B.8, include:
Initial Precautionary Operations Shener-in-Place of SelectedlFacilijiesiPopulations Shener~n-Place General Evacuation Isolation of Ingestion Pathways and Sources The County Executivel Emergency Director may re.commend shelter in place, or staying indoors, for designated Areas. Public notification'ot-the need to sheHer-in-place will be accomplished through use of sirens and the Emergency AJert System. SheHer-in-place actions may be terminated wihen the likelihood of exposure to radiation levels in excess of the PAGs no longer exists.
If the County Executive/Emergency Director ealled for the evacuation of any or all Areas within the County, the publiC will be notified by sirens, torie alert 1-8 Rev. 07108
radios, route alerting, reverse 911 automated calling systems, and messages on the Emergency Alert System. Public Notification is described in Section III.B.S.
Traffic control points will be established and potential impediments 10 evacuation will be removed by tow trucks or other heavy equipment (Refer to Section IILB.8)
People without transportation will be evacuated by buses that will follow the
. routes identified in the public information brochure, which* is distributed to the
. public living within the 1O-mile EPZ. The evacuation of Special Facilities such is as nursing homes and hospitals also coordinated by the Radiological Response Organization. (Refer to Section III.B.8)
Schools within the 1O-mile EPZ WIll be directed to follow one of the following alternatives depending on the level of emergency and expected conditions:
continue normal school operation until end of day, close schools for the duration of the emergency, shelter children in the school, evacuate children to pre-designated School Reception Centers or relocate children to another facility, if
. necessary, prior to a release. (Refer to Section III.B.8)
The evacuation of Non...lnstitutionaflZed Mobility Impaired individuals is also coordinated by the RadiologicafResponse Organization. The County has developed a list of these people from maiJ...in cards included in the public information brochure. (Refer to Section III.B.8) .
Public Reception Centers will. be established to provide registration and other assistance., monitoring. and decontamination of evacuees should'these activities be required and distribution of potassium iodide, if requested. Congregate Care Centers will also be established to provide temporary housing, food, and first aid to displaced evacuees. (Refer to Section III.B.8) ,
, 4. .Emergency Worker Protection Measures will be taken to protect emergency workers from over..-exposure to radiation. Each worker will have the capability to monitor hislher exposure through the proper use of personal dosimetry. An Emergency Worker Personnel Monitoring Center will be established to monitor and decontaminate a worker should these activities be required. (Refer to Section III.B.7)
- 5. Public Education/Information (Refer to Sections III.B.3 and III.B.S)
Effective response to a radiological emergency requires that the public be infoimed about procedures to be followed and actions that would be taken.
. Important to the overall effectiveness of the plan is public knowledge and under-standing both before and during a radiological emergency at the Indian Point Energy Center. To accomplish this, the County has developed a complete public information program for the public.. This program involves:
1-9 Rev. 07108
- a. Advance Information in Case of an Emergency at the Indian Point Energy Center Rockland County disseminates public information to residents, speciai facilities, and transients in the 10-mile EPZ on an ann~al basis through public information brochures, telephone book inserts, stickers, periodic news releases, the County Radio System 1640 AM and the County Government Website www.rocklandgov.com.
- b. Emergency Information The County will advise the public of the sUitus of an Indian Point emergency and any recommended protective actions using the Emergency Alert System. Information will focus on the nature of the emergency and the recommended response, if any. The release of information will be coordinated with appropriate Federal, State, and County authorities and the Nuclear Facility Operator.
E. GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES Radiological emergency responsibilities are shared by all levels' of government and the Nuclear Facility Operator. These responsibilities will be met at the local or county level until such time that the County's r~ources have been exhausted. At that point, in addition to technical guidance and evaluation, thec.ounty will request State and Federal Government resource assistance.
The person responsible for the County's response is called the Emergency Coordinator. The Emergency Coordinator at any time has the authority to declare a "local state 'of emergency." This 'provides the Coordinator with the command of all county and local resources. Should the seriousness of the emergency warrant it, the Coordinator has the authority to request the Governor to make a "StateE~ergency Declaration," which would make readily available the full resources of the State of New York. Upon declaration of the "State Disaster Emergency, RocIQand County becomes II an agent of the State's efforts to mitigate the effect the emerg~ncy may have on the .
health and safety of the public. .
Additionally, the declaration of "State Disaster Emergency" provides the opportunity for the State to request large scale Federal Government assistance for Rockland County.
- 1. County ResP.Qnsibility For Rockland County to meet its responsibility to its residents in a radiological emergencyt it will be nece~ary to .perform the following operations:
a.' Monitor arid assess the scope and magnitude of the incident.
- b. Evaluate and decide what protective action response options should be initiated. .
. 1-10 Rev. 07108
- c. Implement the appropriate protective action response option, which may be to take one or more of the following actions:
- 1. Initial Precautionary Operations
- 2. Shelter-in-Place of Selected Facilities/Populations
- 3. Shelter-in-Place .
- 4. General Evacuation
- 5. Isolation of Ingestion Pathways and Sou~ces In addition to these actions, the successful implementation of this plan will depend on efficient and effective coordination with other emergency response organizations and with Orange, Putnam, and Westchester counties, Bergen County (NJ), New York state and the Nuclear Facility Operator (NFO). ROCkland County's resources, such as the EOC and Communications, will be made availabie to support an initial federal response element. Additional resources will be provided by New York State and ~rdinated on a regional level.
- 2. State Resoon§ibility.
It is the reSponsibility of the State of New York to recommend and/or order protective actions, which will prevent or minimize radiation exposure to the population in the event of a radiological release incident. The State will also
'provide technical guidance and evaluation. Other than the extension of credit, assistance in the,forms of personnel, equipment, supplies, services and' facilities may be provided when local resources are insufficient to cope with the effects of the emergency.. The State shall take the necessary actions to respond in those instances where a county does not have the capability'to implement all or part of its Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan. The State will assign a State Emergency Management Office (SEMO) liaison to the County Emergency Operations Center (EOC), who will coordinate the support
,from the New York State Disaster Preparedness Commission* (NYSDPC). The State of New York has the responsibility to contact federal organizations and coordinate their respo~se.
- 3. Federal Govemment Responsibility If it is necessary, in the opinion' of the Govemor. the State will request Federal assistance. The three major federal agencies are the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The NRC is responsible for onsite technical response including monitoring', assessment, technical control, and the' prediction of the impact of a radiological release.
DHS is responsible for offsite non-technical response. This would include coordinating with State and local agencies and offering assistance where possible. '
1-11 Rev. 07108
A third federal agency is the Department of Energy (DOE). At the direction of the State Commissioner 'of Health, DOE, through the Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan, will coordinate all' offsite monitoring, evaluation, assessment and reporting of the activities of participating Federal agencies.
State resources such as command posts and communications will be made available to support the'federal response.
- 4. Nuclear Facility Operator Responsibility The operators of the nuclear plant involved in a radiological emergency have a responsibility to offsite authorities. They have the initial responsibility for declaring and asseSsing an incident at the site, providing dose projections, protective action recommendations and taking immediate actions to mitigate or terminate the emergency. It is their responsibility to notify the State and local govemments, the NRC and other federal agencies as necessary. In addition to notification, they are responsible for onsite and offsite monitoring and sample conection. They must remain in contact with the State and local officials for consultation and assessments of the emergency's progression.

PART I SECTION II - PREPAREDNESS I A. MISSION The Federal, State, and County Governments and the Nuclear Facility Operator have the responsibility to prepare for the protection of public health and safety in the event of a radiological emergency.. A radiological emergency is a situation in which an offsite protective action may be necessary to reduce radiation exposure to the population as a result of an incident at a commercial nuclear power reactor.
Preparedness is the first phase of the emergency preparedness system. Its primary purpose is to enable state and local officials to eliminate or reduce the effects of any emergency. Plan writing is a major component of this phase for it documents the Emergency Preparedness Program.

PART I SECTION III-RESPONSE A. MISSION The Federal, State and County Governments and the Nuclear Facility Operator have the responsibility to protect public health and safety in the event of a radiological emergency.
Response is the second phase of the emergency preparedness system. Its purpose is to enable state and local officials to reduce the effects of any emergency.
Adequate response to radiological emergencies includes, but is not limited to, the fol/owing response activities:
- 1. Command and Control
- 2. Emergency Mobilization
- 3. Public Information
- 4. Communications
- 5. Public Notification
- 6. Assessment and Evaluation of Protective Response Options
- 7. Radiological Exposure Control
- 8. Protective Actions
- 8. IMPLEMENTATION OF RESPONSE ACTIVITIES
- 1. Command and Control During a County Emergency, the County Executive is responsible for the health and welfare of residents of the County of Rockland and will provide personnel and equipment from all County departments and agencies necessary to achieve this objective. Specifically during a radiological emergency, the Executive acting as the Emergency Coordinator will assume command of and direct the overall County response activities.
When the State of New York issues a State Disaster Declaration, the State assumes control of the emergency.
The Emergency Coordinator is responsible for ensuring the continuity of County resources. If the Executive is unable to assume the position of Emergency Coordinator, or when it is necessary for him/her to be relieved during a protracted operation, the command and control function will devolve upon the highest available person from the following list:
111-1 Rev. 05/10
Chief of Staff Deputy Chief of Staff County Attorney Chairman of the Legislature Vice Chairman of the Legislature The Rockland County Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is located on the lower level of the Fire Training Center in Pomona, New York. It is at that facility that emergency response activities will be coordinated under the direction and control of the Emergency Coordinator.
The Emergency Coordinator will be receiving and reviewing a constant flow of information from the staff at the EOC as to event classification, escalation, real or potential radiation hazards, and recommendations on protective responses. Based on the CDFES and the County Commissioner of Health's recommendations, and after review of available resources, the Emergency Coordinator will formulate the County's position regarding the protective response required.
Having determined the County's position, the Emergency Coordinator will then confer with the other three County Executives and the Chairman of the New York State Disaster Preparedness Commission to ascertain their recommendation regarding the situation. Since the State and County assessments are based on the same data inputs, ideally their recommendations will be similar in nature and agreement on the best protective response.
Upon determination of a protective response, the Emergency Coordinator, through the response organization representatives at the EOC, will direct the implementation of the appropriate protective response actions.
- 2. Emergency Mobilization For a radiological emergency, Rockland County will use the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) located at the Fire Training Center, Pomona, New York. Once the EOC is activated, provisions will be instituted to ensure 24-hour operation. Each response agency will establish 24-hour (12-hour shift) duty assignments.
- a. Notification (1) Nuclear Facility Operator Notification Plan The Nuclear Facility Operator notification plan is initiated when the Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Director determines that there exists an initiating condition for any of the four Emergency Classifications. Upon this determination, the Emergency Director shall notify the County Warning Point (Sheriffs Communication Center) by activating the New York State Radiological Emergency Communication System (RECS) and providing the information contained on the Radiological Emergency Data Form.
111-2 Rev. 05110
(2) County Notification Plan Immediately following receipt of an emergency notification, the County Warning Point will call the agencies and persons indicated in the implementation procedures (see Procedure RCS-4, Notification of Response Agencies). The County Warning Point is operated on a 24-hour basis.
These calls will be by telephone or radio communications. Key personnel have been assigned pagers and can be reached on a 24-hour basis. Calls from the County Warning Point may be supplemented by using Law Enforcement personnel to notify agencies and persons when initial contact cannot be made. These calls will include pertinent information received from the Indian Point Energy Center. Personnel alerted will either immediately report for duty or stand by. The person receiving the call is responsible for making additional calls as indicated in the procedures.
The OFES will notify local municipal officials (town, city, village) as well as Bergen County, NJ.
- b. Activation During the activation phase of the County Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan, the following key County emergency response personnel will proceed as assigned to their primary duty station according to the following:
(1) County Personnel and Emergency Representatives or their Designees Reporting to the Emergency Operations Center (EOC)
Rockland County Executive (Emergency Coordinator)
Director Office of Fire and Emergency Services and Staff Sheriff Local Police Representative Commissioner of Health Superintendent of Highways Commissioner of Public Transportation Commissioner of Social Services Director of Communications Fire Coordinator EMS Coordinator BOCES Assistant Superintendent of Business and Finance American Red Cross Representative Special Facilities Coordinator Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Services (RACES)
Inter-County/Bergen County Liaison at EOC Dose Assessment Team Leader County Attorney Commissioner of Mental Health Director of Office of Aging 111-3 Rev. 05/10
Director of Office for People with Disabilities New York State Police Representative New York State Park Police Representative Bergen County Police Representative (optional)
Local Business Liaison (2) County Personnel Reporting to the Joint News Center County Public Information Personnel (3) Other Personnel Reporting to County Emergency Operations Center as Needed Representatives of:
New York State Department of Transportation (optional)
New York State Emergency Management Office (SEMO)
New York State Department of Health (optional)
Nuclear Facility Operator Representative Orange & Rockland Utilities Bell Atlantic Local Business (optional)
(4) County Personnel Reporting to Bergen County (NJ) EOC In the event of an Alert classification, the Rockland County Liaison to Bergen County may be dispatched to the Bergen EOC located at 327 Ridgewood Ave., Paramus, New Jersey. The Liaison will coordinate all communications and resource aid between Rockland and Bergen Counties.
(5) Personnel to be Notified but DO NOT Report to EOC unless Requested by Emergency Coordinator Budget Department HELP Pilot Personnel Department Medical Examiner Bergen County OEM Utility Companies (electric, gas, water, Purchasing Department telephone)
Upon arrival at the EOC, the first responsibility of the Director of the Office of Fire and Emergency Services is to activate and confirm the operability of the communication systems between the County and State EOCs, the Nuclear Facility Operator/Emergency Operations Facility, and through his staff, activate and confirm the operability of the County emergency communications network.
In the event the individual listed above for each agency is not available to respond, his/her alternate or designee will be immediately notified. A list of alternates will be on file at the County Warning Point (Sheriffs Communication Center).
During the verification phase of the County Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan, the Emergency Coordinator and the Director of the 111-4 Rev. 05/10
Office of Fire and Emergency Services will, either personally or through their staffs, confirm the activation and availability of emergency response personnel and resources.
For a radiological emergency, the EOC is activated at an Alert or greater emergency classification or as otherwise directed by the Emergency Coordinator or designee. Since the Office of Fire and Emergency Services has certain standard operating procedures for all types of emergencies, these same procedures will apply to activation of the EOC under a radiological emergency. The County officials and response organization representatives who comprise the EOC emergency staff will be directed to report to the EOC by the County Warning Point in accordance with Procedure RCS-4, Notification of Response Agencies.
The Sheriff will ensure that an officer is stationed at the entrance to the EOC who will admit only properly identified personnel with emergency assignments. Anyone who cannot produce proper identification will be denied admission unless a representative of either the Emergency Coordinator or the Director of Fire and Emergency Services orders that they be admitted.
Upon activation of the EOC, pre-assigned telephones will be plugged into jacks that have already been installed at appropriate locations to provide each response organization with its own telephone capability.
Radio communications will be established with field forces. Communications with field forces that do not have base stations in the EOC will be by telephone to the location(s) of the respective radio systems' base stations.
Appropriate status boards, maps and charts are maintained in the EOC.
The Radiological Emergency Communications System (RECS) will be used to maintain a communications link between the Nuclear Facility Operator/Control Room/Emergency Operations Facility, the County Emergency Operations Center, the State Emergency Operations Center and their respective warning points to provide emergency information to the Emergency Coordinator.
- 3. Public Information
- a. Release of Public Information To ensure the controlled and coordinated release of information to the public, the Rockland County Director of Communications is designated as the County Public Information Officer (PIO) and will report to the EOC and assume the position of JIC PIO, the official Rockland County source for all releases of information to the news media and the public. All other Rockland County emergency response personnel will forward all requests for information from the 111-5 Rev. 05/10
news media to the County Public Information Officer. The County Public Information Officer, under the direction of the Emergency Coordinator, will arrange for any public announcements to be made over local radio and/or TV stations via the Emergency Alert System (see Appendix J). This will be accomplished via teleconferencing and/or video link between the Joint Information Center and the EOC. The Four County Public Information Officers will closely coordinate with the State the release of Emergency Alert System (EAS) messages to EAS stations and the media.
News releases will also be coordinated with New York State, other Counties, the Nuclear Facility Operator and Federal spokespersons. A facility located at the Hudson Valley Transportation Management Center, Hawthorne, NY has been designated as the Joint Information Center and will be used by the news media during a radiological emergency at the Indian Point Energy Center. Prior to activation of the News Center, the County Public Information Officer will maintain communication and coordinate all news items with other County, State and Utility spokespersons to the extent practical. After the News Center has been activated, a County Public Information representative will be present utilizing Procedure PI-1, Public Information Emergency Response Actions, and other procedures detailed in the Indian Point Joint Information Center Procedures, which is used by all County, State and Utility spokespersons. Included are draft messages covering the four classifications of emergency, with attention paid to protective actions recommended by the Emergency Coordinator as well as notification of de-escalation or termination of the emergency.
In preparation of Emergency Alert System messages and/or press/news releases, the County Public Information Officer will incorporate the following specifics:
- Location (County)
- Governing Authority (County or State)
- Protective Actions (shelter-in-place and/or evacuation)
- Affected Area Descriptions
- Reception Centers (as needed)
- b. Public Inquiry The Public Inquiry effort consists of two major components located at and coordinated through the Joint Information Center. These components will be cooperatively staffed by County, State and Licensee representatives at the Joint Information Center. New York State will operate as Public Inquiry Coordinator on behalf of all agencies.
Television and radio broadcasts, as well as newspapers will be monitored and reviewed. Incorrect, inaccurate or questionable information in these media sources will be brought to the attention of the appropriate PIOs. That representative will then take corrective action by providing accurate information 111-6 Rev. 05110
directly to the involved station or publication, or to all media present at the Information Center via a news briefing or press release as deemed appropriate.
Telephone operators with current information over specially designated telephone lines will respond to misinformation or rumors circulating through the public. After the JIC is declared operational, and the Public Inquiry telephones are staffed, the "Public Inquiry" numbers will be announced at a news briefing.
The Public Inquiry function is to provide the public with clarification of the information that may be in conflict with the official announcements. Information provided will be from EAS messages and news releases.
The Public Inquiry function is conducted in accordance with the Public Inquiry Procedures contained in the "Indian Point Joint Information Center Procedures" and Public Information Education Work Plan.
Public Inquiry on the County level consists of three components. The first is a Community Radio Station 1640 AM, which can be used by the JIC PIO to air emergency information. The system operates 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> a day, seven days a week, and can broadcast prerecorded messages. During an emergency at the Indian Point Energy Center, public information could be disseminated to the general public on a continuous basis. The second is a Citizen Advisory Network, which has the capabilities of placing approximately 1,000 calls on an hourly basis. The third component is Code RED, a web and phone based system for selecting households to call using geographic criteria. The system has the ability to call up to 60,000 households per hour for delivery of emergency-related information.
- 4. Communications The rate of response to any incident is predicated on reliable communications.
The following explains the communications network to be employed in response to a radiological emergency: In the event of a radiological emergency at the Indian Point Energy Center, the Radiological Emergency Communications System (RECS) enables the Indian Point staff to promptly notify State and County emergency response organizations. In addition to RECS, telefax machines (hard copy) will provide for additional communications between the Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Operations Facility (EOF) and the Emergency Operations Centers (EOCS) for the State of New York and Rockland, Orange, Putnam, Westchester and Bergen Counties.
Within Rockland County, appropriate response actions will be coordinated using the New York State RECS, the Executive Hotline Emergency Communications System, the State Emergency Management Office (SEMO) Communications System, Local Government Radio, Health Department/Department of Social Services Communications System, Highway Department Communications system, Sheriff and Police Department Communications, American Red Cross mobile 111-7 Rev. 05110
communications, Emergency Medical Services Communications and Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Services (RACES) operators and equipment.
All fixed and mobile radio units of Utility, State, and County response organizations are used on a regular basis by operating agencies. County owned radio equipment is maintained by the Office of Fire and Emergency Services and all malfunctions are reported to the County Emergency Operations Center in Pomona, New York and repaired with minimum delay. Telefax machines are used on a regular basis between Counties and the State and are maintained by the Office of Fire and Emergency Services.
The Rockland County Emergency Communications network (County Warning Point, manned on a 24-hour basis) operates from the Rockland County Sheriffs Communication Center, Fire Training Center, Pomona, New York.
Rockland can also communicate on the local government frequency with the State Emergency Management Office (SEMO) regional office in Poughkeepsie, and Westchester, Orange and Putnam Counties and the Nuclear Facility Operator.
Additionally, contact can be made with these locations and other points via commercial telephone.
Contact with Bergen County is by police radio or commercial telephone.
Communications to the State Warning Point provides the contact for the National Guard. Westchester County is the primary party to contact the United States Coast Guard for purposes of traffic control on the Hudson River. In addition to the Coast Guard, Westchester County contacts Metro-North, the Federal Aviation Administra-tion and the Emergency Alert System. If public and private transportation companies are to be utilized, contact will be by commercial telephone or by RACES radio.
Additional RACES representatives can be made available for dispatch to additional support agency headquarters should that agency be unable to contact Rockland County.
Given no system failure, commercial telephone will be used as the principal source of contact with many support agencies.
A communication link will be provided between the EOC and the Joint Information Center to ensure communications between the County's JIC PIO and the PIO at the EOC (EOC PIO).
Communications between contiguous states and counties in the 50-mile Ingestion Exposure Pathway is a New York State responsibility and will be accomplished by the State Warning Point.
111-8 Rev. 05110
- a. The New York State Radiological Emergency Communications System (RECS) for the Indian Point Energy Center (1) Description This section defines the configuration and functional requirements for a dedicated telephone network to be used for vital communications pertaining to radiological emergencies at the Indian Point Energy Center in Buchanan, New York.
RECS is a telephone conferencing system between the Indian Point Energy Center (lPEC), New York State, the four counties of Orange, Putnam, Rockland and Westchester, and other organizations including the West Point United States Military Academy and the City of Peekskill.
Those in the Central Control Rooms at both IPEC Unit 2 (U2CCR) and Unit 3 (U3CCR) and those at the State and the Counties Warning Points are manned continuously for the initial call and message concerning an emergency at IPEC. As necessary, other stations including the IPEC Emergency Operations Facility and Alternate Emergency Operations Facility (EOF and AEOF) and the counties Emergency Operations Centers (EOC) and NY State Coordination Centers are subsequently manned for follow-up messages.
Each location has one or more telephones capable of hands-free operation, built-in speakerphone feature, and ring and light annunciators together with other common equipment necessary to couple the station to the system. Entergy Northeast initiates all RECS calls. When a call is initiated by either U2CCR or U3CCR, a continuous ring and flashing light announce the call at the other stations until they go off-hook or press the hands-free (Speakerphone) button. The ringing will time out after 15 minutes. All calls are recorded on the system server at IPEC.
The RECS system is available at all times on a 24-hour a day, 7 day a week basis, and is not used for other purposes. The system configuration and its functional operation are described in Appendix F.
- b. The Executive Hotline Emergency Communications System EHL is a telephone conferencing system between the Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC), New York State, the four counties of Orange, Putnam, Rockland and Westchester Emergency Operation Centers.
Each location has one or more telephones capable of hands-free operation, built-in speakerphone feature, and ring and light annunciators together with other common equipment necessary to couple the station to the system. All parties can initiate a conference call.

- 5. Public Notification
- a. Notification of the General Public This section presents a review of the prompt alert and notification system that has been installed in the 10-mile EPZ and discusses additional general public and transient population notification. NUREG-0654 provides guidance for prompt notification of the public in an emergency situation and instructions on information to be given to the public in the event that protective actions need to be taken. This system is intended to be utilized during a General Emergency or earlier if deemed necessary.
At the present time, there are two (2) installed prompt alert and notification siren system~; an existing Matrikon siren system and a new Acoustic Technology Inc. (ATI) siren system. The new ATI siren system will replace the existing Matrikon system when testing and qualification is completed.
" 1-11 Rev. 05/10
(1) Public Alert and Notification Systems (a) Introduction The Nuclear Facility Operator (NFO) has installed an Alert and Notification System (ANS) in the 10-mile radius area surrounding the Indian Point Energy Center. Siren activation and Emergency Alert System messages are coordinated by the four counties. If public action is required, then the sirens will be activated within fifteen minutes of a decision made by the four County Executives. The intention of the alert signal is only to instruct the public to tum to public media (radio and television) for more specific information.
(2) Siren Placement/Acoustic Guidelines NUREG-0654 and FEMA-REP-10 indicate that the determination of adequate siren sound levels is achieved as follows:
- For population density below 2000 persons/square mile, a signal of 60 dBC is produced.
- For population density above 2000 persons/square mile or more, a signal of 7- dBC is produced.
- A siren signal is produced that is 10 dBC above the measured ambient noise.
(3) Siren Distribution (a) Matrikon Siren System For effective coverage of the Indian Point EPZ, high power electro-mechanical sirens were selected as the alerting devices for the ANS.
Based on the siren placement guidelines presented above, the system design indicates that 156 sirens are required. The distribution is as follows:
- Westchester 79
- Rockland 51
- Orange 16
111-12 Rev. 05110
The distribution of sirens in each of the four affected counties is as follows:
- Westchester 77
- Rockland 56
- Orange 23
- Putnam 16 (4) Siren Control and Communication (a) Matrikon Siren System The 156 sirens are connected via a dedicated frame relay network to the County Warnings Points and Emergency Operations Centers. In addition, the warning points are also directly connected to the siren network via a radio link, in the event that the frame relay system fails.
Activation, monitoring and testing of the sirens are available from each County Emergency Operations Center, Warning Point and also at the Indian Point Energy Center.
The computerized system used for siren control has the ability to activate sirens and also provide electronic verification of siren performance (e.g.,
whether or not each siren sounded and rotated). In addition the siren system performs periodic monitoring of key siren parameters such as power and communication availability.
(b) ATI Siren System Control Control, as used herein, refers to those functions that are used to activate the sirens, monitor siren system functionality, and receive condition status and alarms from the sirens.
The siren control system consists of eleven independent and redundant control stations. Each county has at least two control stations. One is located at each county's Warning Point (WP) that is manned continually on a round-the-clock basis. Another station is located at each county's Emergency Operations Center (EOC). Westchester County has a third control station located at its backup EOC. Two control stations are located at IPEC.
Each control station consists of one computer system, one cell modem for TCP/IP communications, one REACT 4000 Communications Control Unit (CCU) for radio communications, and a UPS and backup batteries.
The computer runs control and monitoring software.
The Internet/Cellular system utilizes the computer, cell transceiver, and cell antenna at each control station to initiate activation and polling 111-13 Rev. 05110
commands to the sirens and to monitor results. The computer is programmed to activate a pre-defined group of sirens and is the main component used to activate and monitor the sirens using the TCPIIP path. Transmission paths between the control stations and sirens use commercial carriers that are independent of the Radio System.
The Radio System uses a REACT 4000 to initiate and monitor activation and polling commands to the sirens. It is also programmed to activate a pre-defined group of sirens. It can operate independently without the computer, but is normally aligned so that it processes activation and polling commands initiated by the computer. Activation using the Radio system sends activation signals to the Internet/Cellular system and vice versa.
Typically, the control stations in the individual counties of Orange, Putnam, Rockland, and Westchester are set to activate and monitor only those sirens within their own jurisdictions. However, the control units can be set up with the ability to activate sirens in any and all jurisdictions. In this way, the control units provide redundancy and backup to other controls stations. If a control station in one of the counties were out of service, its sirens could be activated by another control station within the county, or if agreed, by another county. All of the computer/REACT-4000/cell modem units have battery backup power capable of providing a minimum of 24-hours of operation in case of primary power failure.
Sirens can be activated by either the REACT-4000 alone (radio) or the computer (REACT 4000 or TCPIIP). Upon initiation, activation signals can be sent over the following two pathways simultaneously:
- The 200 MHz radio to the radio transmission towers, which then transmits signals to the siren network via 220 MHz, and
- Commercial cell phone modem network/internet (TCPIIP, Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) to the individual sirens and control stations where cellular modems receive the Signals.
The 220 MHz radio interface is built into the REACT-4000 unit and the TCPIIP interface is connected through the computer. In normal operation, the REACT-4000 and the computer communicate so that activations, initiated by either unit, are sent out over both paths. If either the REACT-4000 or the computer is non-functional, the other component can still transmit activations over the remaining path.
The use of either of these two pathways is sufficient to activate the sirens.
The control stations poll the individual sirens using the same 111-14 Rev. 05110
communications pathways to determine siren status and function. The control station computer is password-controlled so that it can be set for use in its primary county, or as a backup for other counties as required.
Sirens are routinely polled to report on operational readiness. Key system parameters that are monitored include communications, AC power availability, siren and control station operability and battery status.
Communication There are two separate and distinct communications paths between the control stations and sirens:
- Commercial cellular TCP/IP connectivity to all sirens and control stations The radio pathway and cellular TCPIIP pathway operate concurrently.
The dedicated simulcast radio network is comprised of four towers sites, each with redundant radio hardware to communicate activation and status monitoring signals between the control stations and sirens. Signals received by any tower will result in these signals being communicated to all towers. The signals are then re-sent in a coordinated manner to all sirens and control stations as appropriate, to minimize signal interference.
There are two redundant radio paths used to communicate between the control stations and sirens. Each path includes radio antennas at each tower, radio frequency transmitters/receivers at each tower and a communication link between towers. Only one of these paths is in full operation at a time, with the other normally in standby. The receiver paths at the towers are always maintained in operation and can therefore process any signals received, but only one transmitter can operate depending on which one is selected to be in service. Failure of the in-service path would result in automatic transfer to the standby path. There are no shared components in the signal transmission path used to activate and monitor the sirens except for the equipment building and tower structure, the equipment maintaining the time stamp for synchronization with the sirens, and both paths share the same battery backup. The control circuits used for tower alarms and channel switching are also shared.
The towers communicate to each other through redundant communication links. One of these communication links uses microwaves and the other uses Telco T1 telephone lines. The redundant controlling electronics for processing the multiple signals received by the 111-15 Rev. 05/10
towers are located in different facilities: For the T1 path, it is the IPEC Met Tower and for the microwave path it is Tinker Hill Tower.
Control signals to transfer between communication links are processed through the IPEC General Support Building (GSB) with the capability to manually transfer this function to the IPEC EOF as a backup. Loss of one of the tower communication links would not prevent the Radio System from activating or monitoring the sirens.
One complete radio path for status monitoring and activation (microwave path) has a confirmed 24-hour battery backup capability via one channel of the radio system. Most of the redundant path (Telco T1) in the radio system also has a confirmed 24-hour battery backup capability. The one exception is the communication link between the towers that uses Telco T1 lines operated by the local telephone carrier. Table 9-1 describes the characteristics for the transmission towers. The locations of the sirens, control stations, and repeaters are depicted on Map 1.
The cellular TCPIIP siren activation and monitoring pathway does not rely on the repeater towers; it processes signals directly between the control stations and the sirens.
Alarms and status monitoring of signals to and from the sirens are processed using the same dual paths that are used for siren activation.
Each repeater tower also has a monitoring unit which provides alarm monitoring and control for the radio system at the towers and communicates to the control stations by a separate radio and TCPIIP cell modem, each having its own antenna. The monitor processes signals to indicate alarm conditions at the repeater towers resulting from component failures, activates or blocks either the microwave transceivers or the Telco T1 line transceivers depending on which tower communication path is desired, powers down several components in the standby channel if there is a loss of AC power at the towers, and initiates a transfer between the microwave mode and Telco T1 mode when conditions dictate (manually, automatically on a major component failure, or automatically on a regular scheduled, if selected). Each control and alarm communication path to the towers is independent of the other except where these signals are processed through common circuit boards and where components in the redundant communication paths are housed in common enclosures at the control stations and towers. The monitoring units at the towers share the 24-hour battery backup supply.
The actions and responsibility for the activation of the ANS in Rockland County is described in Procedure RCS-6, Alert and Notification System Activation.
111-16 Rev. 05110
(5) Supplemental System-Tone Alert Radio Special Facilities -- As a supplement to the siren system, there is a system of tone activated alert radios for warning organizations such as hospitals, schools, etc. These radios have been distributed to these facilities to augment sirens in the 10-mile EPZ. Each of these facilities is equipped with a Tone Alert receiver which, upon activation by the EAS signal from WHUD in Peekskill or from 44-Control, will automatically enable that radio to receive the broadcast of the emergency messages. In rural areas where siren coverage may be marginal, individual dwellings have been offered a tone alert radio.
Low Siren Coverage Area - A siren contour study was conducted for the new ATI siren system. The study indicated areas of low audibility (less than 60 db in areas with population less than 2,000/sq. mi. or less than 70 db in areas with population greater than 2,000/sq. mi.) in the Rockland County portion of the EPZ.
To insure that the public is notified in these low volume areas, tone alert radios are provided to augment primary alert and notification systems.
(6) Back-up Notification Systems - Reverse 911 (City Watch or Code RED)
In the event of a siren failure, Reverse 911 notification systems are in place to notify and alert residents in the vicinity of in-operable sirens. Reverse 911 notification systems are the primary back-up means for alerting the public.
These notification systems consist of computerized calling equipment to contact residents in the EPZ advising them of an emergency at Indian Point and to turn on the local Emergency Alert System (EAS) radio or television station.
Both reverse 911 systems employ an internet mapping capability for geographic targeting of calls coupled with a high-speed telephone calling system that can deliver customized pre-recorded emergency messages directly to homes and businesses. City Watch has the capability of delivering messages at the rate of approximately 4,000 calls per hour; whereas, Code Red can deliver messages at a rate of up to 60,000 calls per hour.
(7) Route Alerting In the event that additional public notification (to include reported siren failures) is necessary, route alerting may be implemented. Route alerting is a secondary back-up means for alerting the public. Vehicles equipped with public address units would be dispatched to the area alerting residents to listen to the local Emergency Alert System (EAS) radio or television station.
The Sheriff and Police Departments in the EPZ are provided with copies of route alerting procedures that include siren area coverage, the route to be run and the Indian Point Energy Center public address announcement.
111-17 Rev. 05110
(8) Additional Notification Systems In the event that additional public notification is necessary, County officials can utilize the Community Radio Station 1640 AM.
(9) Alert and Notification System Testing Program (a) Matrikon Siren System The Alert and Notification System Testing Program consists of the Alerting Siren Testing Program and the Single Station Tone Alert Radio Testing Program.
Procedures detailing the testing and maintenance of the system are on file at the NFO.
(i) Bi-Weekly Silent Test The bi-weekly silent test insures proper radio reception at the siren location. Upon receipt of a radio signal, which is transmitted from the County Emergency Operations Center or the County Warning Point, a verification signal is returned to the Emergency Operations Center indicating that the signal was received. If the signal is not verified, a technician is dispatched to diagnose the cause and repair the problem.
(ii) Quarterly Growl Test Each quarter, the sirens in each county are sounded for approximately 10 seconds. This allows for a full system activation without full volume sounding of the sirens. Siren performance is monitored and a technician is dispatched to diagnose the cause and repair the problem.
(iii) Full Alert Siren Test The entire siren system is tested at least annually to ensure operability. The sirens are sounded as if it were a real actuation with a four (4) minute duration. Siren performance is monitored at each county Emergency Operations Center as well as Indian Point. If a siren fails to activate or any perform properly, a technician is dispatched to diagnose the cause and repair the problem.
(iv) Annual Prevention Maintenance During the annual preventive maintenance, the equipment at each siren is inspected. The inspection includes verification that all components are in proper working condition, and that antennas and electrical connections are in good condition. Any adjustments or repairs are made as needed according to the manufacturer's specifications.
111-18 Rev. 05110
(v) The Single-Station Tone Alert Radio Testing Program consists of the NFO contacting all recipients yearly, via letter. This letter advises recipients to determine the operability of the radio, radio locations, and verifies that the holder has determined operability using the monthly scheduled EAS test broadcast.
(b) A TI Siren System Routine testing of the ATI siren system will be performed from the control stations. The following will be performed as a minimum as suggested in NUREG-0654 and FEMA-REP-10 and IPEC's Failure Modes and Effects Analysis:
- Routine polling will be performed to validate communications between control stations, towers, and sirens. Success will be confirmed by feedback to the control station.
- A weekly test of all sirens will be initiated from a control station to ensure the transmission path and the siren audio drivers are functional. Testing will be initiated from various control stations using typical communications paths. The test makes a brief sound, which is audible to the public. The siren test checks the communication with the sirens in addition to checking the audio drivers. Success will be confirmed by feedback to the control station.
- A quarterly growl (10-second activation) test will be initiated for each siren from a control station. Success will be confirmed by feedback to the control station.
- An annual full activation test will be conducted. The full activation is an alert activation, which produces 305 minutes tone. Success will be confirmed by feedback to the control station(s).
Additionally, the following testing will be performed:
- A silent test will be performed following preventative maintenance at a siren. Success will be confirmed by feedback to the control station.
- Additional testing will be performed by each county at their discretion.
(10) The Emergency Alert System The Emergency Alert System (EAS) is a network of radio and television stations designed to give information to the public in the event of an emergency. The EAS system is accessed through the Westchester County Department of Emergency Services. Public notification over this system will include notification that a potential emergency situation exists, initial information or instructions, continued instructions on protective actions and follow-up information.
111-19 Rev. 05110
(11) In 2007, Rockland County partnered with the New York State Emergency Management Office and began utilizing NY-Alert. NY-Alert allows the County to provide notifications to select groups through a secure web portal. The website allows members of the public to subscribe to customized automatic updates via e-mails, fax, text messaging, and phone messages.
(12) Additional General Public. Transient Population and Special Population Notification An Emergency Planning Brochure is mailed to all residents within the 10-mile EPZ on an annual basis and presents specific information on protective actions, including the use of Potassium Iodide as a thyroid agent, to be taken in the event that the prompt notification system (sirens) is activated. A condensed version of the brochure is contained in the Rockland County phone book.
The brochure contains a return postcard on which special needs, i.e., people with disabilities, confinement, medical impairments, etc., can be identified. This information is recorded by the Office of Fire and Emergency Services and special evacuation provisions are designed to accommodate these hardship cases on an individual basis. A special phone number will be announced in a news release to enable these individuals to request assistance during the emergency.
Hearing-Impaired Individuals, as identified by the Office of Fire and Emergency Services, will be contacted by telecommunications device for the deaf (TOO) by the Office for People with Disabilities.
Whenever possible, signs or other measures are used to disseminate appropriate information to the transient population within the 10-mile EPZ if an emergency occurs.
- b. Notification of the General Public-When Initial Notification is of a General Emergency Classification Requiring Immediate Protective Action Upon receipt by the County Warning Point that the initial notification from the NFO of an emergency is classified as a "General Emergency," the County Warning Point will coordinate siren activation with the other three county warning points. By mutual agreement, Orange, Putnam, Westchester, and Rockland Counties, and New York State have designated Westchester County the lead and Rockland County the alternate to coordinate the activation of the sirens. Three minutes following the siren activation, an EAS message will be aired advising the public in the five (5) mile radius surrounding the Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC) to take the protective action of "shelter-in-place" and to stay tuned for further instructions. "Evacuation" of the two (2) mile radius and five (5) mile downwind area around the IPEC will be recommended immediately following coordination among the four county executives, or their designees, of Westchester, Putnam, Orange, and Rockland County.
111-20 Rev. 05110
The lead County Executive shall seek the concurrence of the other County Executives, or their designees, to order the protective action of "Evacuation" of the two (2) mile radius and five (5) mile downwind area around the IPEC. This evacuation order shall be formulated in consultation with the lead county Commissioner of Health and shall include consideration of the NFO's recommended protective action, meteorological conditions, and other site-specific conditions.
The primary means of communication among the County Executives/Emergency Directors is the "Executive Hot Line", a dedicated voice multi-point telephone located in each of the four county EOCs and the State EOC. Back-up communication may be accomplished by either commercial telephone or by local government radio frequencies. The time required to accomplish this coordination will vary depending upon the time of day and circumstances surrounding the event.
- 6. Radiological Assessment and Evaluation of Protective Action Response Actions
- a. Assessment The Commissioner of Health has the following resources to use in assessing the impact that a radiological release incident at the Indian Point Energy Center can have on the general public of Rockland County:
(1) Population Data and Evacuation Time Estimates Previously developed data available are the population distributions by Area and sector/zones around the IPEC as shown in Appendix B. In addition, evacuation timetables for different areas of the County and various contingencies such as normaVadverse weather conditions, day/night scenario, and school in session/not in session are available in Appendix C.
(2) Meteorological, Radiological, and Plant Data Meteorological data is available from monitors at and around the IPEC, the National Weather Service, and the DEC Meteorologist at the State EOC.
This data can be used to determine the actual and projected meteorological conditions for the County.
Radiological data is available from numerous fixed radiation monitors at and around the IPEC and from mobile radiation monitoring teams deployed by the NFO, Rockland County, the other counties in the EPZ, and if requested by the State, the U.S. Department of Energy of through the Radiological Assistance Plan (RAP) and Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Plan FRMAP).
The Department of Health will dispatch a minimum of two two-person teams for the purpose of radiological monitoring. DOH or OFES vehicles are made available to the monitoring teams. Each team vehicle is in radio contact with
/11-21 Rev. 05/10
the EOC utilizing a pre-established frequency. DOH procedures detail the amounts and types of instruments used by team members. Monitoring kits have been equipped to insure the teams' capability to detect and measure radioiodine concentrations in air as low as 1E-7 micro curies/cc. It is estimated that teams will be in the field within one hour of notification.
Plant data is available from Containment Radiation, Release Rate, Temperature and Pressure Instruments. This data, along with Meteoro-logical and Radiological data, is available through the Meteorological Radiological and Plant Parameter Data Acquisition System (MRP-DAS) computer in the EOC and over the telefax. Meteorological and plant data is also available over the RECS line.
In addition, the Department of Health will dispatch one pre-designated individual to the Indian Point Energy Center Emergency Operations Facility (EOF). This person will act as a liaison between utility and Rockland County Department of Health personnel and provide the most current information possible.
(3) Assessment Assistance Nuclear safety specialists from the State, the Nuclear Facility Operator, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and the U. S. Department of Energy will be available to assist in providing an ongoing assessment and evaluation of the incident. This assessment will identify events, which have occurred, or are in progress, that may result in major failures of plant safety systems. The NFO will provide estimates of the time required to complete repairs and terminate any release.
(4) County Assessment Operations Dose assessment calculations (of actual or projected conditions) are performed by the County Dose Assessment Team. These calculations may be performed by hand or by utilizing the PC-based dose assessment program. Both methods are described in procedure DOH-5. Upon review by the Dose Assessment Team Leader, calculations and recommendations for protective actions are provided to the County Commissioner of Health. The Commissioner of Health evaluates this information prior to submittal to the Emergency Coordinator. The Emergency Coordinator will utilize this information, along with other pertinent data, to make protective action decisions.
111-22 Rev. 05/10
- b. Evaluation (1) Input Parameters The evaluation of the impact on Rockland County of a radiological release incident at the Indian Point Energy Center determines the protective action response options (see Section 8) which should be implemented.
In evaluating which protective action response options to implement, the Emergency Coordinator will consider the following input data to establish a basis for his/her decision-making:
(a) Plant Conditions and Emergency Classification Current plant conditions and emergency classification level can be obtained from the NFO via RECS and the DOH representative at the EOF.
(b) EPA Protective Action Guidelines Protective Action Guidelines (PAGs) have been developed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to indicate appropriate responses during radiological emergencies. The EPA PAGs are shown in Table 111-1. Note however, that Potassium Iodide administration may be ordered at the General Emergency Action Level.
(c) Projected Doses The Health Commissioner and staff will determine the projected dose for potentially affected areas. These projected doses are compared to the PAGs to determine which protective action response options should be recommended. Projected dose is the total of the accumulated dose received since the beginning of the incident and the projected dose rates over the critical time frames for the estimated duration of the incident.
(d) Road and Weather Conditions Current road and weather conditions are received from the Sheriff, the Highway Superintendent, the New York State Police, the Nuclear Facility Operator, and the National Weather Service.
(e) Critical Time Frames The critical time frames to be identified for a particular incident are the implementation time frames for the various protective action response options.
In certain cases; however, consideration of critical time frames may not be appropriate. In the event of a severe accident where core damage and containment failure is imminent, the preferred initial protective action is to evacuate immediately approximately 2 miles in all directions from the 111-23 Rev. 05/10
plant and approximately 5 miles downwind, unless other conditions make evacuation dangerous or unwarranted.
The recommendation to shelter-in-place the population in this case only applies to cases where there is assurance that the release from containment will be a short-term (puff) release of predicable duration and supporting meteorological conditions.
The implementation time frame for a particular protective action response option has two components - notification time and execution time.
Notification time is the time required to notify the population-at-risk and to deploy whatever emergency response personnel and equipment is necessitated by the particular protective action response option.
Execution time is the time required, after notification, for the completion of the particular protective action response option. For example, the execution time to evacuate a certain area of the County when added to the notification time required to give the public instructions and deploy personnel and equipment will identify the critical time frame for that area.
(f) Status of Certain Facilities and Areas, Availability and Operability of Resources The status of the following is also to be determined prior to any decision making:
- Schools, Parks, Special Facilities
- Availability of Transportation Resources
- Operability of Reception Centers/Congregate Care Centers
- Availability of Emergency Workers and Emergency Resources
- Operability of Public Notification System (g) Nuclear Facility Operator Recommendations The NFO will make recommendations for protective action to the County over the RECS line. The NFO recommendations are based on plant conditions and actual or projected doses.
(2) Decision Process Based on information from previous paragraphs (a) through (g), the Emergency Coordinator is able to make a decision as to what protective action response option(s) should be implemented. This decision may be discussed and coordinated with officials of the State and other counties over the Executive Hotline Emergency Communications System.
111-24 Rev. 05/10

- From Manual of Protective Action Guides and Protective Actions for Nuclear Incidents, EPA 400-R-92-001, May 1992 111-25 Rev. 05110
- 7. Radiological Exposure Control
- a. Emergency Personnel Emergency Personnel Radiological Exposure Control is necessary to monitor, minimize, and record the radiological exposure of County emergency response personnel. This includes individuals engaged in radiological monitoring, rescue of endangered or injured personnel, lifesaving activities, evacuation of affected populations, and protection of property to prevent damage or loss.
Emergency response personnel, including volunteers, may be exposed to radiation and/or be contaminated while performing their duties.
Measures will be taken to limit the radiation exposure of emergency workers to those values and conditions as described below and in Procedure DOH-4, Exposure Control Coordinator. Recommendations for emergency workers to incur exposures in excess of the EPA General Public Protective Action Guidelines are made by the Commissioner of Health and authorized by the Emergency Coordinator. Authorizations are documented on the Emergency Worker Permanent Dose Record Form.
Upon mobilization, emergency workers are provided, as appropriate, with electronic or self-reading dosimeters, Thermoluminescent Dosimeter (TLD),
Potassium Iodide (KI), C\nd other protective equipment.
Each worker performing emergency service functions inside the Plume Exposure Pathway periodically reads hislher dosimeter and records any exposures.
Readings exceeding 1R (1 Roentgen) are recorded and reported to the individual's immediate supervisor. At readings of 3R or greater, the individual reports to hislher immediate supervisor and requests additional instructions on remaining in the area. The Commissioner of Health is informed of the situation and may recommend protective measures to reduce exposure, including the use of the radioprotective drug KI, or makes a determination on extending the individual's dose. If additional instructions on remaining in the area are not received by the emergency worker and his/her exposure reaches 5R the individual will notify his supervisor, so that he/she can be relieved and receive further instructions. Information on the use of KI is provided in Appendix Hand Procedure DOH-B, Potassium Iodide Issue and Use.
Correction Factor for Internal Dose The dose limits in EPA 400-R-92-001 are expressed in terms of the radiation dose equivalent received from external sources (EDE) and the committed effective dose equivalent (CEDE) due to the intake of the radionuclides during the emergency. The external component of the dose to emergency workers is measured using the personal monitOring devices issued to these workers.
These include TLD badges and direct reading dosimeters. The internal component, on the other hand, cannot be directly measured and can only be calculated from a knowledge of the radionuclides in the release and estimates of 111-26 Rev. 05/10
the intake of these radionuclides by the emergency responders. In the absence of information on these radionuclides, county staff should use a value of one (1) for the correction factor. The New York State Department of Health Staff will use available information on the release or plant status to determine the appropriate value of a correction factor to be used, and will communicate this value via telephone and/or fax to the dose assessment staff at the county Emergency Operations Center (EOC). When a value for the correction factor is provided to the county EOC staff, the New York State Department of Health may recommend that this value be used by the dose assessment staff when comparing the emergency worker dose to the appropriate PAG.
Radiological exposures received by all emergency workers are recorded and maintained in accordance with Procedure DOH-4, Exposure Control Coordinator. In conjunction with the NYSDOH, provisions for obtaining whole-body counts or bioassays are established for radiological evaluation of emergency personnel. Emergency workers will be briefed on the risks of prenatal radiation exposure prior to dispatch into the field and will be given the opportunity to declare pregnancy before being assigned for deployment.
One Personnel Monitoring Center (PMC) will be established for emergency workers. Monitoring and decontamination of emergency personnel and equipment will be performed in accordance with Procedure DOH-2, Personnel Monitoring Centers. Waste disposal shall be coordinated with the NYSDOH and the NFO.
- b. General Public Personnel Monitoring Centers within each Reception Center (see Appendix E) are designated for the general public to facilitate monitoring residents and transients arriving at the centers within a 12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> period. In order to monitor 20% of the Rockland County portion of the EPZ population (23,639) within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />, Rockland County has adequate handheld and portal monitors to accomplish this requirement. Additional support personnel for personnel decontamination, vehicle monitoring, vehicle decontamination, and registration are also available, if necessary. Reception Center personnel are from volunteer fire departments, Haz-Mat Team and the County Department of Social Services.
New York State personnel are also available to supplement Rockland and Orange County staffs to process park transients of the Palisades Interstate Park, Harriman State Park, and Bear Mountain State Park, if necessary. (Details regarding NYS personnel are outlined on page 111-38 of the NYS REP Plan.)
Evacuees arriving at the centers will be monitored and decontaminated, if necessary. Potassium Iodide tablets will also be made available to evacuees at entry points to reception centers. Decontamination of vehicles will be performed, if necessary, when time and manpower permits, i.e., if a large influx of contaminated vehicles occurs, vehicles may be parked in designated areas to await decontamination at a later time.
111-27 Rev. 05/10
Monitoring and decontamination of the general public will be performed in accordance with Procedure DOH-2, Personnel Monitoring Centers. Waste disposal shall be coordinated with the NYSDOH and the NFO.
- c. School Children Monitoring facilities at select School Reception Centers are designated to facilitate monitoring school children evacuated, if necessary. School children will be monitored and decontaminated if necessary in accordance with the appropriate procedures. Radiological monitors assigned to each School Reception Center will perform the monitoring and decontamination.
- d. Contaminated/Injured Individuals Transportation for contaminated/injured individuals to appropriate medical facilities shall be provided by Rockland County EMS agencies as specified in Procedure EMS-2, Handling and Transport of Contaminated and/or Injured Individual to Medical Facilities.
Medical facilities capable of treating contaminated/ injured and/or overexposed individuals are listed in procedure EMS-2, Handling and Transport of Contaminated and/or Injured Individual to Medical Facilities.
- 8. Protective Actions The following protective action response options provide the capability to effectively respond to any real or potential threat from a radiological emergency:
- 1. Initial Precautionary Operations
- 2. Selective Shelter-in-Place
- 3. General Shelter-in-Place
- 4. General Evacuation
- 5. Isolation of Ingestion Pathways and Sources
- 6. Potassium Iodide (KI) as a Thyroid Blocking Agent More than one of the options may be implemented at the same time. Specific options can be implemented for certain populations or areas.
"All remaining Areas monitor the Emergency Alert System (EAS)" is an action that:
- Will always and only be used in conjunction with a recommendation for evacuation or shelter-in-place
- Is not intended to provide dose reduction
- May involve a variety of actions, including:
o Listening to EAS o Collecting medications, important papers, etc.
o Packing (in case it is later recommended to evacuate) 111-28 Rev. 05/10
- Does not mean shelter-in-place
- Although it may be advisable to go indoors to monitor EAS in order to minimize traffic and other outdoor congestion, it is not required that the public go indoors in order to monitor EAS "Shelter-in-place" is an action that:
- May be recommended by the licensee for short duration releases (defined as a release of one hour or less duration) during a General Emergency
- May be recommended by offsite response agencies for persons who should be evacuated but cannot because of impediments such as:
o Transportation resource shortfalls o Dangerous travel conditions o Long mobilization times (special populations such as prisons, nursing homes, etc.)
- Would only be recommended during a General Emergency
- Would be taken for the purpose of reducing dose
- May involve a variety of actions, including:
o Going indoors o Limiting outside sources of air o Making preparation to evacuate o Listening to EAS "Evacuation" is an action that:
- Is defined as the urgent removal of people from an area to avoid or reduce high-level, short-term exposure, usually from the plume or deposited activity
- Would only be recommended during a General Emergency
- Would be taken for the purpose of reducing dose The following table summarizes emergency decisions, protective actions and the expected pubic response to the recommended protective action.
111-29 Rev. 05110
Evacuate specified Areas Evacuate if located in the specified Areas Shelter-in-place specified Areas or Shelter-in-place if located in the designated populations specified Areas or designated populations:
- Go indoors
- Limit outside sources of air
- Make preparation to evacuate
- Listen to EAS Monitor the EAS Continue listening to EAS for additional information Implement the KI plan Follow provided direction regarding the ofKI
- a. Initial Precautionary Operations This option provides an effective initial protective action, which can easily be implemented, will facilitate the implementation of the other protective action response options and requires a minimal commitment of emergency response resources. The implementation and execution of this protective action may include the following:
(1) The temporary closing of all tourist areas such as parks and campgrounds in Rockland County. Actions regarding Bear Mountain and Harriman State Parks are coordinated with Orange County.
(2) The temporary suspension of non-critical patient admissions to Helen Hayes Rehabilitation Hospital, and Robert E. Yeager Health Center. (Agreements presently exist to facilitate an inter-hospital transfer of patients if it subsequently becomes necessary.)
(3) Notification of special facilities, e.g., nursing homes, hospitals/health care facilities.
(4) Consideration of available school (public and private, nursery and day care, elementary, middle, and high) alternatives: (School Superintendents or designees will notify private, parochial, and nursery schools within their district)
(a) If schools are not in session:
Close all schools in Rockland County until further notice.
(b) If schools are in the process of opening or are in session:
111-30 Rev. 05/10
Continue normal school session until the end of the school day, at which time students will be sent home in the regular manner (Buses may be held).
or Close all schools in Rockland County and send students home in accordance with each school's "Go Home Plan".
or Direct that the students and staff in the schools designated by the Emergency Coordinator shelter-in-place in the school facility.
or Relocate students to an alternate facility prior to a release.
or If the Emergency Coordinator determines that certain schools in the 10 mile EPZ should be evacuated directly to School Reception Centers, then he/she will order such action to be taken for the appropriate schools.
- b. Selective Shelter-in-Place Shelter-in-place is the protective action advising the public to seek shelter in a permanent, reasonably air tight structure until further notice. Additional instructions could include closing doors and windows, reducing outside air intake from heating and cooling systems, extinguishing fires and closing flues in fireplaces, and continuing to listen to their Emergency Alert Systems (EAS) TV and/or radio station.
This option is an effective protective action for individuals who could not be safely evacuated if it were necessary. These individuals include those who have been designated medically unable to evacuate as well as those individuals who require constant, sophisticated medical attention or are incarcerated.
The primary locations for implementing this protective action are the Helen Hayes Rehabilitation Hospital in West Haverstraw, the Robert E. Yeager Health Center in Pomona, and the County Correctional Facility in New City. The execution of this protective action should be implemented in accordance with the procedures developed for these facilities and other locations where there are members of the public for whom Selective Shelter-in-Place would be an appropriate action.
111-31 Rev. 05/10
The implementation of this protective action requires that the Public Information Officer advise the public regarding the action to be taken and that the Special Facilities Coordinator and Sheriff notify the above mentioned facilities.
- c. General Shelter-in-Place This option is an effective protective action for the general public in the event of a puff-type radiological release. In addition, where evacuation might be the preferable response option but local constraints, such as evacuation time or highway impediments. dictate that directing the public to seek shelter is a more feasible and effective protective measure.
A puff-type radiological release is defined as a concentrated release of radioisotopes for a short-term and predictable duration. For an incident of this type, the most effective protective response action is immediate, temporary sheltering of the general public in the affected areas.
The implementation of this protective action requires that the Public Information Officer advise the public regarding the action to be taken.
- d. General Evacuation Evacuation is the protective action advising the public to leave an area until further notice and restricting access to that area.
This option provides for the capability to evacuate the general public from any or all affected or potentially affected areas within the Rockland County 10 mile EPZ.
The Evacuation Plan is based on the identification of both the population to be evacuated and the transportation resources required to accomplish this evacuation. Appendix 0 details the evacuation routes, traffic control points, traffic capacities, and evacuation time requirements for evacuating certain Areas. These evacuation times represent the estimated time required to evacuate an Area after the general public has been advised to evacuate.
Because the population in the areas to be evacuated can vary, a total of 14 scenarios representing different seasons, time of day, day of week and weather have been developed as a means of characterizing the population shifts. Two special event scenarios are also included. These scenarios, which address variations in both the general population distribution and the special facilities (schools), include the following, and are detailed in Appendix C:

(1) General Public Evacuation (a) Area to be Evacuated The area within 10 miles of the Indian Point Energy Center has been divided into Areas. The Area in Rockland County are detailed in Appendix A. The resident population for each of the planning areas along with totals for the EPZ in each county are shown in Appendix B.
The designation of Areas provides the Emergency Coordinator with the flexibility to evacuate portions of the 10-mile EPZ by readily identifiable segments of the area.
(b) Evacuation Travel Time Estimates After the Emergency Coordinator orders an evacuation, some members of the public will have been able to leave the 10-mile EPZ within 30 minutes or less. On the other hand, due to traffic congestion, availability of buses and special vehicles, weather conditions, etc., it could take a significantly longer period of time before the last person is outside the EPZ (see Appendix C for Evacuation Time Estimates). Nevertheless, most people will be traveling by automobile and the designated primary and secondary evacuation routes are able to handle a substantial amount of traffic. The evacuation travel time estimates (after mobilization) represent the time for the last vehicle in each Area to clear the EPZ 111-33 Rev. 05110
boundary. It should be noted that a substantial portion of the evacuating population will have left the EPZ well before the last vehicle leaves.
NOTE: Evacuation travel time estimates for Rockland County are fully addressed in the report "Indian Point Energy Center, Development of Evacuation Time Estimates", prepared by KLD Associates, Inc.
(c) Designation of Evacuation Routes General public evacuation routes have been broken down into primary routes, secondary routes and feeder routes. Refer to Appendix D for full details.
(d) Establish traffic control Traffic control has two basic objectives: to expedite the flow of traffic from the evacuating area, and to prevent entry of unauthorized individuals into the evacuated area. The methods used to accomplish this objective are described below:
- The Sheriff, Local Law Enforcement Agencies and the State Police will man traffic control points, within the limits of available manpower, along with the evacuation routes and incoming traffic routes at intersections in their jurisdictions they decide need such control.
These intersections are detailed in Appendix D.
- Normal public transportation (buses and trains) will be suspended into the EPZ or affected areas.
- Temporary signs (such as directional arrows) may be placed at locations where the traffic control personnel or the permanent signs need additional reinforcement.
- Weather permitting, a helicopter will monitor traffic flow and provide updated information to the County EOC.
- Specified routes will be cleared and necessary measures to remove impediments to evacuation will be implemented, if needed. During radiological releases, County highway department trucks, snow plows, salt and sand spreaders will be deployed if necessary.
- Planned roadway construction or maintenance along evacuation routes will be reported to the County EOC on an ongoing basis so that traffic may be redirected in the event of an evacuation.
- Traffic flow outside of the EPZ will be directed to reduce the likelihood of severe congestion problems along the evacuation routes.
111-34 Rev. 05110
- Traffic control will be instituted in host areas to facilitate egress, or vehicular flow, at Reception Centers, Congregate Care Centers and School Reception Centers.
- Suspension of water traffic on the Hudson River in and out of the EPZ will be accomplished by the United States Coast Guard, Captain of the Port of New York, upon notification by Westchester County
- Restriction of air traffic by the Federal Aviation Administration upon notification by Westchester County.
- Establish checkpoints at the perimeter of the affected area to close ingress on main routes.
- Local Law Enforcement agencies will locate and aid in the mitigation of traffic incidents and accidents during an evacuation.
- Evacuation routes will be activated, if needed, and traffic directed to them by Local Law Enforcement Agencies.
(e) Vehicles used for Evacuation (See Appendix D)
Buses and vans will be used for the evacuation of school children prior to the evacuation of the general public or special facilities as appropriate.
Some buses and vans may be required to make a second trip to complete evacuation of all schools.
Buses may reenter the EPZ after completing their School Evacuation Routes and run General Population Evacuation Routes.
Special facilities in the EPZ have been contacted to determine their vehicle requirements in the event of an evacuation. Buses and other vehicles will be assigned to supplement any available facility-owned vehicles to transport the residents of special facilities. Emergency medical transportation will be provided by ambulance only to those requiring EMS transportation.
The general public in affected Areas use private vehicles or the general public evacuation bus system to leave the EPZ using evacuation routes assigned to their location as specified in the public information booklet and in this plan. The general public evacuation bus system for the general public provides that transit dependent individuals are given the means to evacuate in a timely manner. Pre-designated bus routes and pickup points whose locations are known by the public prior to the evacuation are an important element of this evacuation plan.
111-35 Rev. 05110
It is estimated that the great majority of persons will use their own automobiles to evacuate. Overall estimations project that approximately 90% of potential evacuees have vehicles. Studies based on experience in disaster situations indicate that these estimates are low based on family and friends providing rides. Such estimates reveal that approximately 6,141 permanent residents or 5.0% of the Rockland County EPZ population will require transportation in the event of an emergency.
Buses and special vehicles (Le., wheelchair transports) will be utilized to evacuate the transportation dependent population. Sufficient numbers of vehicles are available from public and private companies under agreements with the County. The Commissioner of the Department of Public Transportation and the EMS Coordinator coordinate the supply of these vehicles.
The Emergency Coordinator would direct the Dept. of Public Transportation Coordinator to prioritize all Rockland County bus resources to effectively implement an immediate evacuation in an affected area.
(f) Designation of Routes for Incoming Emergency Traffic Access will be reserved on some routes for only emergency vehicles, emergency workers' cars, and incoming evacuation buses. Refer to Appendix D for full details.
(g) Public Notification The general public will be notified of an evacuation order by Emergency Alert System (EAS) announcements immediately following the activation of the Alert and Notification System (ANS) sirens. Additional EAS announcements over radio and television networks may be preceded by the sounding of ANS sirens. In addition, tone activated alert radios are provided to warn organizations such as hospitals, schools, etc. In the event of a siren failure, the primary back-up means for alerting the public is reverse 911 systems (City Watch and/or Code Red). Route alerting may be utilized as a secondary back-up, if necessary. Rockland's Radio Station 1640 is also available as a public notification means.
- Any announcement of an evacuation order will be coordinated and reviewed with the Executives of the other three Counties surrounding the Indian Point Energy Center and with the Chairman of the New York State Disaster Preparedness Commission at the State EOC.
- The general public will be advised of areas to be evacuated, 111-36 Rev. 05/10
evacuation routes to follow, reception centers that have been established, and are referred to one or more of the following for additional information and assistance:
EAS announcements and news releases Informational booklets that are mailed annually to every household in the 10 mile EPZ.
Stickers that have been placed for transients in motels, parks and other recreational areas.
Information and guidance on protective actions that are placed in telephone directories.
-- A "Public Inquiry" telephone number is established for clarification of information.
(h) Reception Centers, Personnel Monitoring Centers, and Congregate Care Centers
- Prior to the recommendation for evacuation, the Emergency Coordinator will order the opening of pre-designated Public Reception Centers (see Appendix E) for those evacuees who may require assistance. Any or all Public Reception Centers could be opened as conditions warrant. Public Reception Centers register evacuees and provide them with temporary shelter, assistance and information, and provide a location for reunification with family members if congregate care is not needed. In general, Reception Centers are located at the end of evacuation routes at distances beyond the 10-mile EPZ. Bus transportation linking Reception Centers, Reception Centers to Congregate Care Centers, Congregate Care Centers, and School Reception Centers to Congregate Care Centers to facilitate the reuniting of families can be arranged as conditions warrant.
Staffing of the Public Reception Centers will be by the Department of Social Services and supplemented by staff of other agencies and volunteers.
- Monitoring and decontamination for radiological contamination will be provided at a Personnel Monitoring Center (PMC), which is located at each Public Reception Center, by fire service personnel, or other qualified personnel, if necessary.
If there has been no radiological release then evacuees not needing temporary shelter and assistance will be encouraged (by 111-37 Rev. 05110
media broadcast and emergency workers) not to report to a Public Reception Center, but to proceed directly to their planned destination.
If there has been a radiological release all evacuees from potentially affected Areas will be encouraged to report to a Public Reception Center for monitoring and decontamination, if necessary.
- For those evacuees requiring temporary housing, food and other assistance, transportation or directions to Congregate Care Centers will be provided at the Public Reception Center. For planning purposes, congregate care space is identified for 8-12% of the evacuating population. Congregate Care Centers will be staffed by trained Red Cross personnel utilizing standard Red Cross procedures for congregate care. Pre-designated facilities for congregate care will be opened on an as needed basis.
- Existing commercial telephone lines to the various facilities are the primary communication link to the County EOC. Communications with these facilities can also be provided by RACES.
(i) Security of Evacuated Areas
- As areas are evacuated, it will be necessary to provide for their security. This responsibility will be that of the Sheriff assisted by other local and State police agencies as they are available, and required.
- Personnel assigned to this task are provided with appropriate dosimetry, KI, and equipment.
- Security will normally be maintained by patrolling the evacuated area; however, if radiation levels should make such patrols hazardous, or if they cannot be undertaken because of manpower and equipment availability, security will be maintained by establishing check points and patrols around the perimeter of the area.
- Personnel manning the check points will verify an individual's authorization to enter an area. Authorization can be verified with the EOC if necessary.
111-38 Rev. 05110
(2) Special Population Evacuation (a) School Evacuation As stated in Section 8.a, if the Emergency Coordinator determines that certain or aU schools in the 10 mile EPZ should be evacuated directly to School Reception Centers, he/she will order such action to be taken for the appropriate schools. School superintendents or their designee will notify public, private, parochial and nursery schools within their district.
A School Reception Center is a temporary facility whereby school children will be retained until they can be:
- picked up by their parents or designees, or
- transported to a Congregate Care Center A list of School Reception Centers is provided in Appendix E.
Administrators and staff of evacuating schools will assign and load children onto buses. School staff will accompany students during an evacuation. School administration and faculty accompanying school children to the School Reception Center will maintain records of children's names, persons picking them up, and their destinations upon leaving.
The School Reception Centers will remain in operation until all children have been reunited with their families or until other arrangements are made.
(b) Evacuation of Special Facilities
'* The types of facilities given special consideration for evacuation are nursing homes; hospitals; health care facilities; County jail; County, State and Palisades Interstate Parks; recreational areas; and camps.
'* The generic evacuation plan for each type of special facility is summarized below:
Nursing Homes:
Nursing homes are required to have disaster plans for any type of emergency. These plans will be adapted as necessary for a radiological emergency. In general, nursing home residents are likely to be impaired to some extent and walking to an evacuation bus pickup point would be a hardship. Therefore, adequate numbers of buses and other vehicles will be assigned to supplement any available facility owned vehicles to transport nursing home residents from each home to pre-designated host 111-39 Rev. 05/10
facilities. Nursing home staff should assemble the necessary clothing, records, and medications to accompany the residents and some number of staff should remain with the residents during evacuation and at host facility.
Monitoring personnel, to monitor and decontaminate the residents if necessary, will be dispatched to the host facilities as required or appropriate.
Host facilities for nursing homes will be identified by the facility operators in cooperation with and subject to review by the New York State Department of Health. Residents of proprietary and not-for-profit homes for adults will be relocated to Public Reception Centers.
If evacuation is ordered, the Special Facilities Coordinator will notify the nursing homes to initiate mobilization (i.e., assemble supplies/records and ready patients). Since their mobilization time requirements are generally longer than for the general population, immediate mobilization will permit some patients to be ready when vehicles begin to arrive and, therefore, may help decrease the overall evacuation time.
Hospitals and other Health Care Facilities: Each hospital and healthcare facility is also required to have a general disaster plan.
These are adapted, as necessary, for a radiological emergency to provide that those in the 10-mile EPZ will designate a hospital beyond the EPZ boundary for the relocation of its patients requiring hospital care.
Sources of buses, wheelchair vehicles, and ambulances are identified to transport patients from specific hospitals to their host facility making multiple trips as required. As necessary, buses and wheelchair vehicles will be pre-assigned to evacuating facilities, while ambulances will be assigned at the time of evacuation, as necessary and available.
Supplies and patient records (or ward charts) will be assembled and taken by staff members accompanying the patients to their respective host facility.
Monitoring personnel, to monitor and decontaminate the residents if necessary, will be dispatched to the host facilities as required or appropriate. The host facility's Departments of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, if available, can also be utilized to perform the monitoring and decontamination of the residents.
111-40 Rev. 05110
If evacuation is ordered, the Special Facilities Coordinator will notify the hospitals/health care facilities to initiate mobilization (i.e., assemble supplies/records and ready patients). Since their mobilization time requirements are generally longer than for the general population, immediate mobilization will permit some patients to be ready when vehicles begin to arrive, and therefore, may help decrease the overall evacuation time.
Parks and Recreational Areas: The Palisades Interstate Park (PIP) System having significant acreage and visitor attendance is considered specifically in the evacuation plans and procedures.
Local, smaller parks and recreational areas have neither the remote visitor needs nor the sizeable attendance figures to require special planning.
As an initial precautionary measure at the Alert level, all parks in Rockland County may be closed. In the event of park closure, the PIP alerting plan may be implemented as outlined in Procedure PIP-1, New York State Park Police Emergency Response Actions. Visitors will be instructed to leave the park and to listen to the EAS system, if activated, for further instructions.
If a general public evacuation is imminent or has begun, visitors will be instructed to leave the EPZ immediately using the pre-designated evacuation routes.
Portions of the Palisades State Park, Harriman State Park and Bear Mountain State Park are located in both Orange and Rockland Counties. Since the larger portion of the population lie within Rockland County, the County Executives of Rockland and Orange Counties have agreed that the Rockland County Executive will make the recommendation for protective actions in those Areas.
Rockland residents evacuating from these Areas are mostly employees of the Bear Mountain/Harriman State Parks and their families. The families will be sent to Reeves Meadow Visitor's Center upon order to close the parks. In the event of an order to evacuate, these individuals will go to Rockland County Reception Centers.
111-41 Rev. 05/10
Camps: Schools and camps are mutually exclusive. When camps are in session, schools are not in session (with the exception of summer school). Camps would be directed to follow the same available options considered for schools. Camps will evacuate using the vehicles normally available to them and may request additional vehicles, if necessary. Camps in need of additional transportation will be provided with vehicles normally available for school evacuations, which will transport the camperslresidents to the appropriate Camp/School Reception Center (see Appendix E).
(c) Non-Institutionalized Mobility Impaired Persons:
Non-institutionalized mobility impaired persons are those individuals that reside at home and require special transportation due to their physical disability. These individuals are identified by the mail-in postcard that is furnished as part of the emergency public information booklet, which is distributed annually to the EPZ population. Each of these booklets contains a postage free card, which enables the recipient to identify physical disabilities requiring special transportation assistance.
A current listing of such individuals is maintained and updated annually by the Office of Fire and Emergency Services. Transportation arrangements for these individuals are provided as required.
Non-institutionalized mobility impaired persons with their own transportation arrangement will evacuate by automobile, bus or special vehicle in accordance with the general public instructions.
If, during an emergency, someone needs help who has not returned their card, the Emergency Alert System will provide them with instructions to call a designated telephone number for assistance.
Telephone requests for non-institutionalized mobility impaired persons requiring transportation will be handled through the Office of Physically Handicapped and coordinated with the Department of Public Transportation and the EMS Coordinator.
- e. Isolation of Ingestion Pathways and Sources The State of New York is responsible for the execution of the isolation of ingestion pathways and sources response option contained in the State of New York Emergency Response Plan. The County Department of Health, along with assistance from other agencies, will coordinate its activities with the NYSDOH to implement this option.
This option is an effective protective action to ensure that the potential for individuals to receive radiological doses in excess of recommended limits 111-42 Rev. 05/10
through the various ingestion pathways is minimized. This would involve control of radioactive contaminated drinking water and food.
(1) Upon receipt of radiation monitoring results which indicate contamination of a drinking water supply or food (ingestion of which could exceed recommended limits), the State Commissioner of Health and the State Commissioner of Agriculture and Markets shall immediately quarantine such food and ban the consumption of such water.
(2) Based upon additional examination, if isotopic concentrations exceed those specified in Procedure DOH-6, Recommendations for Protective Measures, the Emergency Coordinator shall review the situation with the Commissioner of Health and the New York State Department of Health and provide necessary assistance to the State in implementing further protective actions.
- f. Potassium Iodide (KI) as a Thyroid Blocking Agent This protection action option provides the general public with a safe and effective means to block uptake of radioiodines by the thyroid gland in a radiation emergency. The County Commissioner of Health will order the use of Potassium Iodide for the general public in the impacted areas and emergency workers within the EPZ when a General Emergency Action Level is declared. Additional guidance on the use and distribution of Potassium Iodide is provided in procedures DOH-6, DOH-8 and DOH-12.
C. EMERGENCY ORGANIZATION AND RESPONSIBILITIES The organizational structure is shown on Table 111-1 and is outlined in the following paragraphs.

ROCKLAND COUNTY RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PLAN TABLE OF CONTENTS PART I - SECTION IV PAGE RECOVERY A. Mission IV-1 B. Recovery/Reentry Operations IV-1 C. Long Term Recovery IV-3 Rev. 04/04
(NOT USED)
PART I SECTION IV* RECOVERY A. Mission The mission of this section is to describe details of those short term recoveryl reentry and long term recovery operations which are unique to radiological emergencies and to provide the Emergency Coordinator with the capability of implementing the safe reentry to their places of residence and/or employment of the members of the gen~ral public who have been relocated under one of the protective action response options described in Section III.B.S.
The recovery phase is the final stage of the emergency preparedness system.
During recovery, a planned effort is made to restore the normal quality of life to the community. Operationally, recovery begins during the response phase and continues u'ntil the restoration of community life has been completed.
Recovery operations for radiological emergencies consist of two operational parts.
They are:
- 1. Short Term Reentry Operations:
Reentry from a radiological emergency shall commence only after all emergency initiating conditions have ended and the threat to public health and safety from a release of radiation no longer exists. The following shall be confirmed before initiating reentry operations:
- a. Safe shutdown of the nuclear facility.
- b. Radiological materials are under controlled confinement.
- c. Initiating physical phenomenon has been stabilized (e.g., pressure relief from geological fault).
- 2. Long Term Recovery Operations:
Aside from long term radiation and medical monitoring programs, long term recovery operations are generic to all emergencies. For details and guidelines for the implementation of long term recovery operations, refer to the New York State Disaster Preparedness and Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plans. (See Attachment 1 to this section.)
B. RecovervlReentry Operations Recovery/Reentry Operations will conform with the guidelines contained in the New York State Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan and will include the
~ollowing:
IV*1 Rev. 04104
- 1. Completion of radiation surveys by the County Department of Health and the New York State Department of Health which indicate that contamination levels in an evacuated area are within acceptable contamination action limits pre-established by the New York State Commissioner of Health. In areas, which have been contaminated, the County Department of Healtn and the New York state Department of Health may direct that reentry be allowed to all but specially restricted areas. Federal radiological monitoring and assessment assistance is also available as required.
- 2. Determination that a threat to public health as a consequence of any further release of radiation no longer exists. .
- 3. Assessment and mitigation of the effects of an evacuation on public health and sanitation within the evacuated areas.
- 4. Completion of County and State Departments of Health directed decontamination activities, including waste disposaJ, with assistance from local emergency response agencies, the NFO, State and Federal agencies.
- 5. Notification to police agencies manning incoming traffic control check points of the areas for which reentry is authorized' and the realignment of the traffic control perimeter.
- 6. In conjunction with the County, State of New York,' the Federal Government and the Nuclear Facility Operator, the preparation and issuance of announcements to the communications media (e.g., newspapers, radio and television stations) aodto Reception/Congregate Care Centers specifying the areas which may be reentered.

ROCKLAND COUNTY RADIOLOGICAL EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PLAN Attachment 1 New York State Radiological Emergency Preparedness Plan Intermediate and Late Phase Plan
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The intermediate phase of an accident at a nuclear power plant is defined as that period beginning after the source and releases have been brought under control and environmental measurements are available for use as a basis for decisions on protection actions.
During this phase the primary source of exposure to the population is assumed to be due to deposited radionuclides which includes the following pathways: .
o external gamma radiation from deposited radioactive materials or groundshine which is expected to be the dominant source; o internal exposure from inhalation of resuspended materials; o ingestion oUood and water (covered in Section III of the NYS REP Plan);
o beta radiation; and o direct ingestion of contaminated soil.
During this phase of an accident, protective actions responses will include restrictions on food and/orwater (covered in Section III oftheNYS REP Plan), and relocation. It is expected that this phase of an accident might last from weeks to many months.
The late phasfi' of a nuclear power plant accident consists of recovery activities aimed at reducing radiation levels in the environment so as to permit unrestricted, long-term use of property. This phase of the accident, which may last from months to many years, ends when all recovery activities have been completed.
As provided by the New York State Emergency Operations Plan, a Recovery Committee having authority and major responsibilities to make decisions relating to intermediate and late phase activities will be appointed by the DPe. This committee will be comprised of representatives of the Commission's membership, and such other agencies as the Commission Chairman may designate. Specifically included will be representatives of the IV-5 Rev. 04/04
Departments of Agriculture and Markets, Commerce, Health, Environmental Conservation, Labor, Social Services, State, Transportation, Office of General Services, State Energy Office, Public Service Commission, DiviSion of State Police and Division of Military and Naval Affairs/SEMO. Response organizations will be notified that recovery activities are being initiated. This will be accomplished utilizing the Executive Hotline, the RECS line, Ebc briefings, and press releases.
2.0 RESPONSIBILITIES The Committee is responsible for directing State resources and intermediate and late phase activities and. for assisting in the total cooperative effort involving any or all of the other organizations having recognized roles in intermediate and late phase operations.
During intermediate and late phase operations the Committee is responsible for developing practical time parameters *and activities consistent with this plan, and insures that there are adequate communications systems and prOceSses for all State activities.
The Committee reports to the DPC and keeps it apprised of all matters relating to the recovery effort.
The New York state Commissioner of Health continues to have the primary. responsibility for recommending protective actions i.e. relocation; for overseeing the total related radiological program including recovery activities; for modifying, and relaxing protective actions including allOwing the reentry of evacuated or restricted areas; and discontinuing protective actions allowing the return of the evacuated population.
The Director of the State Emergency Management Office (SEMO) coordinates State and Federal assistance and programs with perceived m~eds and the requests of the local jurisdictions.
Local Chief Executives assess the needs of their affected areas in conjunction with the State Emergency Management Office. They direct intermediate and late phase operations in their jurisdictions. State directed intermediate and late phase operations and protective actions are coordinated with the respected jurisdictions, The Governor may appoint a Recovery Planning Council (as designated by Title VIII, Section 802 of the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965, as added by Title V of Public Law 93-288 - "The Disaster Relief Act of 1974) to help determine local needs in IDe recovery effort.
3.0 RELOCATION OPERATIONS Before asseSSing relocation and/or reentry of the public it is necessary to insure that the source of the release or the threat of a release is under control. Accident Assessment staff considerations include:
IV-6 Rev. 04/04
o whether there is a radioactive material inventory capable of being released offsite; o if barriers to a release are threatened by fire, facility control, the presence of hydrogen or other explosive gas, core melt through, pressure build up (decay heat). direct containment heating (high pressure melt through), or isolation failure; o whether the reactor is shutdown (subcritical) and whether or not it can go critical; and o whether the core is being cooled.
Based on analysis of survey results including aerial monitoring data, Aerial Measuring Service (AMS). ground monitoring (State, county and NFO field team data), and sample isotopic analysis, Accident Assessment staff will determine the location of the isodose line corresponding to the relocation PAG (> or = 2 rem- first year). Relocation PAGs are outlined in Table 1. .
Based on Accident Assessment recommendations, and in consultation with local officials, the Commissioner of DOH will order the establishment of a restricted zone, which will include that area in excess of the relocation PAG and an appropriate buffer zone. Buffer zone considerations include geopolitical boundaries, major roads and landmarks, neighborhood boundaries, as well as the potential for transport of the deposited radionuclides.
Division of State Police in conjunction with county and local police agencies will identify control points necessary to control ingress and egress to the restricted zone.
The Committee, and .specifically the Human Needs Task Force, in coordination with appropriate federal, county and local agencies, will implement the relocation order and address the various needs of the relocating population including short and long term housing, job loss, replacement of belongings, and any special needs that may arise. To the extent possible, human need services, federal disaster assistance, and N.FO insurance assistance will be coordinated at Disaster Assistance Centers located as to be convenient to the relocating population. Priority will be given to relocation of persons in the highest exposure rate areas. Persons previously evacuated from areas now determined to be restricted will be designated as relocated.
Additional monitoring/decontamination stations will be established to support control of the restricted zone.
IV-7 Rev. 04/04
4.0 RETURN OF GENERAL POPULATION TO EVACUATED AREAS Persons previously evacuated from areas, which*have not been contaminated, will be allowed to return. Return orders will be formulated in conjunction with the local chief executive(s) and shall be issued via media releases and announcement$ at reception centers and congregate care centers. Transportation for transit dependent members of the returning population will be arranged.
Persons evacuated from contaminated areas outside the restricted zone will be allowed to return on gradual basis as confidence is gained from sample analysis and field measurements thatreloeation PAGs (Table 1) will not be exceeded.
Factors being considered prior to allowing the return of evacuees include:
o sampling and monitoring results; o status of decontamination activities; o public safety status including police, fire and EMS capabilities; o availability and operability of public utilities including electric power, gas, telephone, water and sewer; ,
o adequacy of transportation systems and network; and o any other needs identified by the State Human Needs Task Force.
5.0 REENTRY OPERATIONS Following the establishment of a restricted area it may be deemed prudent by the Commissioner of DOH, in conjunction with loea" officials, to allow temporary reentry into the restricted zone. Reentry can* be allowed for any of the following reasons:
o retrieval of personal belongings ,or property by members of the population being relocated from the restricted zone; o security patrols; o the reestablishment or operation of vital services including fire department operations, EMS, water or sewage control facilities, utility operations, or critical .
businesses or industries; and o care and feeding of livestock; IV-8 Rev. 04104
Restricted zone perimeter ingress and egress control points will be established prior to allowing reentry.
Monitoring and decontamination centers will be established to support reentry operations.
Efforts will be undertaken utilizing state and local resources to decontaminate access ways and facilities.
Persons allowed to reenter the restricted zone will be issued permanent record or direct reading dosimetry, and will be advised to control their exposure and limit the spread of contamination. Known areas of highest exposure rate will be pointed out.
Persons and equipment exiting the restricted zone will be monitored and decontaminated as required.
Exposures to persons reentering the restricted zone will be limited to normal occupational limits for workers exposed to radiation (see Table 2).
6.0 RECOVERY OPERATIONS The Committee, in conjunction with local officials, wili estabUsh a long-term plan for the decontamination of contaminated areas. Decontamination efforts will include:
o scrubbing and/or flushing of hard surfaces; and o soaking, plowing and/or removal of soil.
A radiation-monitoring program for contaminated areas will be established by the State Commissioner of Health. This monitoring program may be long term depending upon the type, levels, and extent of the contamination. The monitoring will also take into account the nature of the contamination as well as the area affected. Future activities affecting release of radiation (venting, etc.) will also require "monitoring. Other State agencies will cooperate and assist the Department of Health in monitoring for long-term effects.
MonitOring programs initiated during the response phase will continue during recovery until acceptable levels are reached. . .
As efforts are. completed it may be possible to tighten the boundaries of the restricted zone as recommended by the Commissioner of DOH.
IV-9 Rev. 04/04
7.0 PUBLIC INFORMATION Dissemination to the public of information pertaining to intermediate and late phase actions commences after consideration has been given to the following factors:
o The status of the serVices and conditions enumerated in the preceding portion of this plan. This includes information and guidance on methods the public should employ to overcome existing deficiencjes. i.e., sources of emergency water supplies, restrictions on use of all non-canned foodstuffs, etc.
o The consistency of public announcements between all levels of government.
The State, County and Utility PIOs coordinate such releases with each other before they are issued.
o The methods by which these announcements are made depends in large part on .
the existing situation and th~ affected areas. Television and commercial radio broadcasts are the primary means of dissemination;' Follow-up newspaper articles are also used. In special cases printed handouts and voice .
communications are used for Congregate Care Centers and similar facilities.
8.0 NONTECHNICAL ASSISTANCE State and Federal assistance can be made available to assist affected counties in recovering from the effects of cit radiological emergency.
Article 2-B of the New York State Executive Law provides that when the Governor declares a disaster emergency for an affected area he may direct any and all agencies of the State govemment to provide assistance under the coordination of the OPC. Such State assistance may include:
o utilizing, lending, or giving to political subdivisions, with or without compensation; therefore, equipment, supplies, facilities, services of State personnel, and other resources, other than the extension of credit; .
o distributing medicine, medical supplies, food and other consumable supplies through any public or private agency authorized to distribute the same; o making such other use of their facilities, equipment, supplies and personnel as may be necessary.
IV-10 Rev. 04/04
The Chief Executive 6fficer of any affected county which has need of Federal disaster assistance accumulates and submits thorough SEMO Regional Office to the Director, SEMO, data as required by Public Law 93-288 and appropriate regulations. This data will be submitted to the Govemor through the Recovery Committee and the Chairman of the Disaster Preparedness Commission with a recommendation as to whether the Govemor should request the President to declare an Emergency or Disaster as defined by Public Law 93-288. If such a request is made and granted, the Federal assistance whIch will then be provided would be administered by the Director, SEMO, for the Recovery Committee, appropriate State agencies and local govemments in accordance with procedures adopted for use in administering Federal aid for any other typ'e of an emergency or disaster declared by the President.
In instances where a Presidential declaration is either not requested or granted, specifiC types of Federal assistance may be provided by individual Federal agencies acting within their own statutory authorities. The Govemor may request such assistance. based on recommendations of the Director of the State Emergency Management Office and the Recovery Committee which will be submitted through the Chairman of the Disaster Preparedness Commission.
Medical follow-up to monitor the effects of radiation on the public and emergency workers after the incident may be.established, if required. Currently, the State Department of Health conducts an ongOing study of selected health statistics for counties with and without nuclear facilities as part of its epidemiological program. This pr()gram will be enhanced in the event of a radiological emergencY_

Residents With No Commuters in Household ... Households of EPZ residents who do not have or will not await the return of commuters prior to beginning the evacuation trip.
Employees ............................................................. EPZ employees who live outside of the EPZ.
Transients .............................................................. People who are in the EPZ at the time of an accident for recreational or other (non-employment) purposes.
Shadow .................................................................. Residents and employees in the shadow region (outside of the EPZ) who will spontaneously decide to relocate during the evacuation. The basis for the values shown is a 30% relocation of shadow residents along with a proportional percentage of shadow employees. The percentage of shadow employees is computed using the scenario-specific ratio of EPZ employees to residents.
Special Events ...................................................... Additional vehicles in the West Point area associated with a football weekend or a commencement ceremony.
School and Transit Buses .................................... Vehicle-equivalents present on the road during evacuation servicing schools and transit-dependent people.
External Through Traffic Traffic that travels through the area defined by the EPZ plus the Shadow Region prior to, and during the 90 minutes following the Advisory to Evacuate. This traffic is then diverted by access control or otherwise discouraged C-4 Rev. 07108
